If any changes are made, the applicant shall file a new Notice of Intent or inquire in writing to the Commission whether the change is substantial enough to require a new Notice of Intent. 2 . Plans for future activities of this project shall be submitted to the Commission, with an inquiry as to whether a new Notice of Intent will be required. The Commission shall then determine if an additional Notice of Intent will be necessary. 3 . A representative from the National Park Service shall submit a schedule for project procedural and contractural milestones as they are developed. After a contractor has been selected, the critical path for all activities shall be sumitted to the Conservation Commission. 4 . The Commission shall also be given the name and phone number of the contractural officer ' s technical representative, or other person responsible for on-site supervision . of construction. 5 . The National Park Service will notify the Conservation Commission prior to preconstruction conference in order for Conservation Commission representative to attend., 6 . a. A siltation curtain (American Marine or of similar manufacture) with ballast and anchors will be fully deployed between Derby Wharf and the end of Central Wharf. At a minimum, the siltation curtain will be deployed from Station 25+00 on the west side of Derby Wharf to Station 5+60 on the west side of Central Wharf . The curtain will be deployed prior to the start of construction and will remain deployed throughout the construction period. The specific purpose of the curtain is to protect harbor waters and boaters from floating debris resulting from demolition activities and to protect water quality from turbidity during construction and dredging. BK 11247 PAGE 319 b. There shall be sufficient slack in the curtain to allow its movement during the ebb and flow of the tide. c. The curtain shall not extend more than two ( 2) feet above the bottom at low tide. d. Opening of the curtain for the movement of vessels and construction equipment will be 'restricted to the period between low slack and high slack tides. The curtain cannot be opened (except for emergenciew) on the ebb tide cycle. e. The contractor will clear floating debris from the water surface before opening the curtain. f . The contractor will be required to inspect the curtain Monday, Wednesday and Friday looking for weaknesses, tears, unusual flaring or other anomalies that could suggest potential failure. Repairs will be made within two days of noting such conditions. In the event of an actual failure of the curtain, the contractor will be required to have the curtain repaired immediately. The construction supervisor will also be directed to conduct regular inspections of the silt curtain to ensure its continued effectiveness. g. Monthly reports on the curtain condition and effectiveness will be submitted to the National Park Service by the contractor . h. The contractor is allowed to remove 100 cubic yards daily only for dredging associated with demolition and installation of bulkhead. i . During the main portion of dredging, monthly water quality monitoring outside of the siltation curtain testing for metals, PAH compounds, PCBs, suspended solids, and turbidity will be conducted. If any of the regularory criteria are exceeded, the water will be retested. If the second test data indicate violations of criteria, the dredging procedures will be modified. 7 . With prior notice Members and agents of the Commission shall have the right, after presentation of identification, to enter and inspect the job site to evaluate compliance with these Orders. The Commission may also require that additional data, deemed necessary to evaluate compliance, be submitted. 8 . The applicant shall comply with all directives and conditions issued by other agencies with project jurisdiction, in so far as those directives impact the resource area and buffer zone. 9 . All dredged material from the top 3 feet of the dredging area, as depicted on figure 16, will be dewatered on barges only. BIS: 11247 PAGE 320 10 . Other material excavated during the wall repair may be stockpiled as long as erosion prevention methods are employed. 11 . The project area shall be secured by a fence during construction. 12 . Servicing of equipment (fueling, cleaning, changing, adding or applying lubricants) shall be conducted such that all precautions are taken to prevent a leakage. All excess lubricants will be stored in a secure location. ex\jrccnpsc ATTACHMENT A PAGE � JASON M.ES INC.

Special Condition 6H state the following: "The contractor is allowed to remove 100 cubic yards daily for the dredging associated with demolition and installation of bulkhead. " It is our understanding that this Special Condition will allow the contractor to conduct limited dredging associated with bulkhead repair throughout the project. During the critical spawning period, however, the limited dredging associated with bulkhead repair is restricted to a maximum volume of 100 cubic yards per day. As you may recall, as stated in the Notice of Intent and during the public hearing, the National Park Service has committed to conducting no major dredging during the March through May critical spawning period. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to your response.

City Engineer i9 � Director of Public Services I t) MUM PLARRIV-P, WK February 5, 1992 Conservation Commission c/o Office of the City Planner One Salem Green Salem, MA 01970 Attention: Betsy Horne, Chairperson Re: Sanitary Sewer Connection to Storm Drain at Derby Wharf Dear Ms . Horne: In response to your letter of January 30, 1992 and recent tele- phone inquiries from the National Park Service staff, this office conducted a survey of the storm drainage system in the vicinity of Derby Wharf on Tuesday, February 4, 1992 and found, upon dye testing, that plumbing fixtures in the package store at the corner of Derby and Herbert Streets discharged directly to the storm drain on the opposite (east) side of Derby Street, which eventual- ly discharges at the southwesterly corner of Derby Wharf, opposite the Custom House on Derby Street. Further investigations, including cleaning and video inspection of the Herbert Street sewer, concluded with the determination that the entire Herbert Street sewer is (and probably always has been) connected to the Derby Street drain. I can only speculate that, at one time, the Derby Street drain likely carried sanitary sewage flows from the entire surrounding area, and Herbert Street was missed when the other sanitary sewers in the area were connected to the 48-inch main interceptor sewer in Derby Street by the South Essex Sewerage District in 1927 . Whatever the historical background, the City is obviously commit- ted to abating this violation of State surface water discharge rules in the most expeditious manner possible. The fact that the Herbert Street sewer crosses under a 66, 000 volt buried electrical cable and other buried utilities in Derby Street, combined with Salem Conservation Commission Attn: Betsy Horne, Chairperson Page 2 February 5, 1992 the fact that debris cleared from the downstream manhole in Derby Street indicates that it is most likely partially collapsed about 50 feet in from the manhole, dictates that we conduct as thorough an investigation as possible before finalizing design documents for bidding. Part of our preliminary investigative work has been completed, but it is important to note that there may be other sources of sani- tary sewage in the Derby Street drain. Videotape inspection of the entire system should be done to verify or deny those other sources of flow, however, the drain is so badly clogged with sedi- ment (most likely from deposition of tidal inflow in the system) that a camera cannot be skidded in the lines . Cleaning a line of this magnitude cannot be accomplished by the equipment in our fleet, but I am investigating the possibility of borrowing a line- dragging bucket set from another community. As it is doubtful that there will be anything more than this to report to your Commission at your February 13, 1992 meeting, I would propose to offer this report for your review at that time, in lieu of meeting with you, and to plan to meet with you at a later time, when our investigation is completed and design/con- struction is further along. Meanwhile, should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call either myself or my Engineering Division Manager, Richard Lis, at the above number.

The proposed work includes the repair and rehabilitation of bulkheads comprising Central Wharf, Derby Wharf and Hatch Wharf, and also dredging 16, 500 cu.yds of sediment between Central and Derby wharf to a depth of -13 ft mean low water and placing 125 cu.yds of stone fill associated with reconstruction of a marine railway at Central Wharf. This work is expected to take 18 months. Salem Harbor is designated a Class_ SB water with Restricted Shellfishing in the MA Surface Water Quality Standards. The sediment will be dredged by barge mounted crane and clamshell bucket and placed on a barge to dewater within the dredging area. The surface sediments contain over 80% silt/clay and are considered contaminated since they contain DWPC Category III concentrations of chromium, lead, mercury, , as well as Category II levels of arsenic and zinc. An elutriate test was done on surface (top 0 .5 ft) sediments expected to be contaminated collected from 3 "deep" water' sites between Central and Derby wharves. It shows a release of lead and arsenic is possible during dredging, although the test allows more possibility for release of metals to the water column than does mechanical dredging. Whether water quality standards are maintained will be determined by monitoring during dredging. One Winter Street 9 Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • FAX(617) 556-1049 9 Telephone(617)292-5500 Y 2. The surface sediment (in the top 0.5 feet) have been judged unsuitable for disposal in the ocean due to resultS of bioassay/ bioaccumulation tests. These sediments resulted in significant mortality of the amphipod Ampelisea abdita and significant accumulation of cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury and total polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in the sandworm Nereis vireas and the clam Macoma nasuta. Therefore the top three feet of sediment (6500 cu.yds) is proposed to be disposed of at an upland site, the GCR landfill in Peabody. The deeper sediments (10, 000 cu. yds) are proposed for ocean disposal. In order to mitigate the potential adverse impacts of dredging on marine species including shellfish in the project vicinity, the work area will be, enclosed by a silt curtain placed from the end of Central Wharf across to Derby Wharf.; The curtain as proposed will not reach to the bottom of the harbor, in order to allow for tidal fluctuation. A barge stationed within the', curtained area will store the sediments during a dewatering period; however, the curtain will be opened to allow the barge to be moved to another site, presently unspecified, for- off- loading to trucks. The curtain will be opened only on in-coming tides to limit the migration of a sediment plume out of the dredging area. Derby Wharf is a 1600 ft long earth-filled structure supported by granite block bulkheads. Repair and rehabilitation at Derby Wharf will include replacing 215 linear feet of timber bulkhead on the east side; and on the west side, replacing 200 L.F. of timber platform, installing new structural support in the form of steel sheet pile cells in the vicinity of the dredging (250 L.F. ) , and placing timber fender piles. Large voids in the existing granite block walls of the wharf will be filled with bags of Portland cement and stones.' At Central Wharf, a 530 ft. long earth filled structure supported by steel and timber bulkheads, work will include replacing 250 L.F. of timber bulkhead and reconstructing a marine railway on the east side using sheet pile faced with timber, and placing 125 cu.yds of stone fill . In accordance with the provisions of MGL Ch. 21, s. 43 , 314 CMR 9 . 00 and Section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act as amended (Public Law 95-217) , this Division has determined that the project has been designed to minimize impacts to waters and wetlands and that there is reasonable assurance that the project can be conducted in a manner which will not violate applicablewater quality standards, as required by 314 CMR 9 . 04 . The Division issues this Water Quality Certification relative to this project, subject to the following conditions: 1. This project could result in a violation of water quality standards adopted by this Division. All waters are protected by anti- degradation provisions of these standards (314 CMR 4 . 00) . Therefore, reasonable care and diligence shall be taken by the contractor to assure that the proposed activity will be conducted in a manner which will minimize violations of said standards. 3. 2 . A silt curtain shall be deployed from the seaward end of Central Wharf to a point opposite on Derby Wharf so. as to enclose the dredging area during dredging. The curtain shall be of marine grade and of such specification to be effective in the project environment. The curtain shall extend from the water surface to within one (1) foot of the harbor bottom at mean low tide. 3 . The scow containing the dredged spoils shall be stationed within the silt-curtained enclosure except when the spoils scow is to be moved for disposal. . 4. The silt curtain shall be opened only during incoming (flood) tides. * 5. If dredging between Derby and Central Wharves is to occur during flounder spawning season (February 15 to May 30) , (a) MA Division of Marine Fisheries staff shall be permitted to observe (sample) the dredged sediment for the presence of flounder at a mutually convenient time, and (b) a tight closing clamshell bucket shall be used for dredging. Such a bucket shall be equipped with flaps at the hinges to seal out water when the bucket is withdrawn from the water. The bucket shall seal tightly at the jaws. 6. Removal of rock and sediment by clamshell in amounts not exceeding 100 cu.yds per day and only where associated with repairing the wharf structure, may occur without a timing restriction. 7 . The applicant shall submit a water quality monitoring plan to DWPC for approval to ensure water quality standards are maintained outside the immediate dredging area during dredging. The plan shall specify detection limits appropriate to EPA national "gold book" criteria for chronic effects. 8 . Monitoring results shall be submitted in timely fashion to DWPC, Attention Judith Perry, l Winter Street, Boston; MA 02108. 9 . This Division shall be notified (J. Perry, 617-292-5655) one week prior to the start of dredging so that the work may be inspected for compliance with the terms and conditions of this certification. - The name and day time phone number of the contractor and the Applicant's representative shall be provided. 10. This Division shall be notified in writing of any changes in plans for this project which may affect waters (including wetlands) . The Division will determine whether the changes will require a revision to this certification. "Changes" shall include the designation for an upland dewatering site, if any, and the designation of an off- loading site for the transfer of dredge spoils from barge to truck. 4. Should any violation ofthe water quality standards or the terms of this certification occur as a result of the proposed activity, this Division will direct that the condition be corrected. Non-compliance on the part of the permittee. will be cause for this Division to recommend the revocation of the permit(S) issued therefor or to take such other action as is authorized by the General Laws of the Commonwealth. Substantial civil and criminal penalties are authorized under MGL Ch. 21, Section 42 for discharging into Massachusetts waters in violation of an order or permit issued by this Division. This certification does ' not relieve the applicant of the duty to comply with any other statutes and regulations. Please contact Judy Perry (617-292-5673) if you have questions about this document.

Certification, May 8, 1992 BRPWP39 (T # 23513) Dear Mr. Noyes: We have reviewed your submittal on behalf of the National Park Service for a change of certification conditions pertaining to work at the Salem Maritime National Historic Site. We understand that delays in completing the rehabilitation work at Derby Wharf, including seawall redesign to minimize archaeological impacts, has delayed the time when the contractor could start the dredging to probably coinside with the period February 15 - May 30. Dredging during this time was prohibited in the original Water Quality Certification for this project in order to protect fisheries. Your submittal presents several alternatives which the Park Service considered in order to comply with the dredging restriction. These include 1) dredging both before and after the moratorium, 2) dredging during the summer of 1994 , 3) delaying dredging until the fall of 1994 . The Park Service does not prefer these alternatives because of the additional costs for demobilization and remobilization of contractor and Denver Park Service personnel that would be re- quired, and there may be concerns from the public in the residential community adjacent to the Park if dredge spoils are exposed during warm weather. We agree that waters at the dredge site will be reasonably well isolated from the rest of Salem Harbor both by location and by the required silt curtain. We understand that the Division of Marine Fisheries agrees as well that the risk to winter flounder and anadrom- _.. ous fish from dredging impacts is possible, but not probable. One Winter Street 0 soaton,Massachusetts 02108 0 FAX(617)556-1049 • Telephone(617)292-5500 0 2: The Park Service has proposed that if allowed to work without a time restriction, they will use a tight closing clam shell bucket during dredging to minimize sediment resuspension, and will work for as short a period as possible during the original moratorium period. This Division concurs with the proposal and has amended the original certification accordingly. In addition, we have agreed with the Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) that their staff be allowed on the spoils barge in the initial phase of dredging to determine if there were flounder captured with the dredged sediment. We will notify DMF once we are notified that dredging is due to begin and ask that the Park Service and the dredge contractor arrange with DMF staff for this inspection of sediment.

' 1.0 HVMODUCTION ' The Salem Maritime National Historic Site is considered the best remaining representation of early maritime commerce activities in the United States. Spanning a period of approximately 300 years, the nine acre site is at the center of Salem Harbor and ' was significant in early American History. In the present Site Master Plan, which was approved in 1978, modifications were proposed for the area that would revitalize the Site, stabilize and restore the deteriorating wharves, better integrate the Site into the City of ' Salem, and provide adequate maintenance facilities. The Site's regional location is illustrated in Figure 1. During the summer of 1990, Derby, Central and Hatch's Wharves in the Salem Maritime ' National Historic Site were investigated to ascertain their existing conditions and to develop the means and methods for restoring their structural integrity. The feasibility of dredging the area between the wharves was also studied for both structural and ' environmental impacts. Consistent with the Site's Master Plan, these activities are now proposed in support of a program to enhance the Salem Maritime National Historic Site, including improved docking facilities to accommodate historic and other vessels and a ' permanently-moored floating exhibit. The bulkhead reconstruction is necessary to repair and preserve the historic wharf structures, and to permit safe public access to the wharf portions of the Park. Detailed planning and design necessary for implementing the Park's Site Master Plan took place concurrently, and was carried out by the A/E team in conjunction with the National Park Service's Denver Service Center. The planning and design process resulted ' in the development of four conceptual design alternatives: • Alternative 1 (The No-action Alternative) -- Other than the provision of new exhibits in the buildings on Derby Street, there is no development on the wharves. ' No dredging is proposed. The east side of Central Wharf, which is badly deteriorated, would be replaced with a new bulkhead designed to retain the wharf's historic appearance. The steel bulkhead on the west side of the wharf would be t faced with wood. The granite block walls would be grouted and a section of timber bulkhead along Derby Wharf would be replaced. • Alternative 2 (Three-Dimensional Interpretative Form) -- A dredged slip between ' Central and Derby Wharves would be developed to accommodate visiting historic sailing vessels as well as a permanently moored ship: This alternative includes construction of new warehouses (both fully enclosed as well as open-frame ' "ghosted" buildings) on Derby Wharf, and the construction of active and passive interpretative areas, plus open space. ' • Alternative 3 (Low-profile Interpretative Facilities) -- Large wayside and demonstration areas with an audio tour and dialogues would be constructed. No dredging would occur, but necessary repairs would be made to the bulkheads. • Alternative 4 (Museum/Recreational Use) -- A smaller dredged slip between the wharves for visiting historic vessels, and a museum and warehouse exhibit buildings on Derby Wharf would be developed. Additional recreational uses are provided ' towards the southern end of Derby Wharf (western face) with a dock for visiting sailboats.

' An Environmental Assessment (EA), prepared for the project by the National Park ' Service's Denver Service Center to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), was submitted in April 1991. A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the project was issued on September 9, 1991. ' As a result of this review process, Alternative 2 has been selected as the preferred alternative, the Site Plan for which is shown in Figure 2. ' Improvements at the Salem National Maritime Historic Site will include dredging and the stabilization/rehabilitation of portions of existing bulkheads along Central, Derby, and Hatches Wharves. Dredging will be confined to an area of approximately 1.6 acres in an existing slip between Central and Derby Wharves. A total of approximately 16,500 cy of ' marine sediment is to be dredged. Bulkhead repair activities entail several varied techniques, each appropriate to the nature of the individual bulkhead location. In general,reconstruction activities include underpinning of the granite bulkhead along the ' proposed dredge area, the grouting of large voids between blocks, replacement of unstable or missing granite blocks, driving of steel and timber piles, and facing the steel sheet bulkhead along the eastern and southern tip of the wharf with wood planking. ' Dredged materials will be disposed of in two locations. A Tier II - Chemical Evaluation Report (Jason M. Cortell and Associates Inc., September 1990) and a Tier III - Biological Evaluation Report (Jason M. Cortell and Associates Inc., February 1991) were submitted ' to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and reviewed. Results of data review indicated that the deeper sediments (approximately 10,000 cy) are clean and suitable for ocean disposal. Based on those data, the clean, deeper sediments will be disposed of at the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site (MBDS). Based on the results of Tier III testing, the 7,600 cy of surface sediments are not suitable for disposal at the MBDS. Accordingly, these contaminated sediments will be disposed of at a Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MA DEP) approved landfill. More recent design development changes have resulted in a slight reduction of these initial volumes to a total of 16,500 cy. This volume will consist of 6,500 cy of ' contaminated surface sediments and 10,000 cy of clean deeper sediments which are suitable for disposal at the MBDS. ' As stated in 301 CMR 11.26, projects needing state permits require filing of an Environmental Notification Form. With respect to the Salem Maritime National Historic Site project, both Water Quality Certification and a Chapter 91 license will be sought. Accordingly, this Environmental Notification Form (ENF) is being submitted to initiate ' review under the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act. 1 ' 1 - 3 1 1 - HAWKES HOUSE AFTER HOUR PARKING -0 1111 R USI-S DEFINED LA'I'P.R ulsroRlc sraeE't•sueF•ncls WEST INDIA •('olnu.e srftehr I uN1w:w:wwmD IcweR1.1NLs 1 GOODS STORE •SALES SHIPBUILDING OUFDOOR EXHIBIT •EXHIBITS / OTUCR USES DEFINED PRIVATELY OWNED 3TRUC1'URE LATIR TO NEIGH BORHOOD BOAT-BUILDING NATIONAL LIGHTHOUSE 1 PARKI O AND STRUCTURE RECREATION MA NT NANCE TO DERRY WATERFRONT FA Y TRAIL HISTORIC DISTRICTIIfOUSE OF J GABLES POLISH CLUB _ WAREHOUSE EXIDBITSFRUCITRFS/ -ADMINISTRATION' E i S S T- BOAT- / 1 STORAGE "^ NEW BUILDINGS CONTEMPLATIVE j • OTHERUSES � -- BUILDING -OE Ot O W ILL RE TOTAIY ENCLOSED NCLOSED OPEN SPACE DEFINED LATER AREA •WITERSTOB -WA0.T; C1MARITIMI-TRADE%111RI13 ANUWYSI%3 1 / / y 1 DERBY HOUSE TO SALEM PROJECT REFURBISHED VISITOR CENTER tSECONDARY1 I SANDY _ , DS WAREHOUSE EXHIBIT STRUCTURES BEACH wllnar IiLRPRETLVE DERRY - �IgTA�RE�±.x 0-- .. x-r- i W 1 AI i 1 c � � .r•`F'sp++ 1 NARBONNE HOUSE 1 �• RECONSTRUCTED SHIP -EXHIBIT 1� , :° HATCH'S W ARF l� _ BACKYARD + = -_ �- DEMONSTR.'

' Yes No X ? B. Narrative Project Description Describe project and site. The Salem Maritime National Historic Site is considered the best remaining representation of early maritime activities in the U.S. The Site Master Plan, approved in 1978, proposes modifications to revitalize the 9 acre site, stabilize deteriorating earth-filled Derby, Central and Hatch's Wharves, integrate the site into the City of ' Salem, and provide adequate maintenance facilities. This project proposes implementation of portions of that Master Plan. During the slimmer of 1990, the condition of the Wharves were studied and approaches ' were developed to restoring their structural integrity. The feasibility of dredging the slip between the wharves w" also studied for both structural and environmental impacts. Based on these studies, several actions are proposed: (1) sections of the wharves will be stabilized and/or reconstructed; (2) approximately 16,500 cubic yards (cy) of marine ' sediment will be dredged from a 1.6 acre area between the Wharves to facilitate docking of historic sailing vessels; (3) approximately 16,000 cy of landside fill material will be excavated to facilitate bulkhead reconstruction, 14,000 cy of which will be used as backfill; and(4) site interpretive components will be revitalized, including construction of ' new exhibits. Section 3.0 of this ENF provides further project details. Dredged materials will be disposed of at both the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site (Attachment B) and at a MA DEP-approved landfill(Attachment C). Solid waste, ' consisting of excavated fill material, old pilings, related bulkhead materials and asphalt from a parking lot to be removed from Central Wharf will be disposed of at an MA DEP-approved landfill.

ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS ' Instructions: Explain direct and indirect adverse impacts, including those arising from general construction and operations. For every answer explain why significant adverse impact is ' considered likely or unlikely to result.Positive impact may also be listed and explained. Also, state the source of information or other basis for the answers supplied. Such environmental information should be acquired at least in par[by field inspection. A. Open Space and Recreation ' 1.Might the project affect the condition, use,or access to any open space and/or recreation area? Explanation and Source: Yes, the site is a Maritime National Historic Site. During construction, access to portions of the park will be restricted. Upon completion of the project, site utilization will be enhanced. ' 2.Is the project site within 500 feet of any public open space,recreation,or conservation land? Explanation and Source: Yes, the site is an existing Maritime National Historic Site which provides public open space t and recreation facilities. There is no designated conservation land within 500 feet of the site. B. Historic and Archaeological Resources 1. Might any site or structure of historic significance be affected by the project? (Prior ' consultation with Massachusetts Historical Commission is advised.) Explanation and Source: Yes; the site is an existing Maritime National Historic Site. Proposed activities will stabilize ' historic wharf structures, provide enhanced educational and historic interpretive facilities, and provide access for historic sailing vessels. The project has been approved by the MA Historical Commission. 2. Might any archaeological site be affected by the project? (Prior consultation with Massachusetts Historical Commission is advised.) ' As the wharves arre cons�itic�e�`of materials of varied origin, it is possible that areas of archaeological significance occur. However, prior wharf repairs and dredging have likely disturbed these potential resources. It is possible that materials of archaeological significance ' may be disturbed during construction. C. Ecological Effects 1.Might the project significantly affect fisheries or wildlife,especially any rare or endangered species?(Prior consultation with the Massachusetts Natural Heritage Program is advised). ' Explanation and Source: There may be temporary increases in turbidity as piles and sheet steel bulkheads are driven into the sediment and general restoration and dredging takes place. Elutriate analyses of sediment ' from the dredge area indicate that there would be no release of contaminants to the water column during dredging. Mitigation measures, including the use of silt curtains to fully enclose the dredge area, will reduce the impact to finfish, shellfish and other wildlife. There are no ' known rare or endangered species in the project area. 1 1/9/87 301 CMR - 104 ' 1 1 301 CMR: EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS 1 11.28: continued 1 P.5 1 2. Might the project significantly affect vegetation, especially any rare or endangered species of plant?(Prior consultation with the Massachusetts Natural Heritage Program is advised.) (Estimate approximate number of mature trees to be removed: 6 ) Explanation and Source: - - 1 No. Although bulkhead repair may temporarily affect lawn areas, the project will not significantly impact vegetation. There are no rare or endangered species of plant on the project site. Approximately 6 trees will be removed from the parking lot which is to be 1 relocated. Both the new open space created by relocation of the parking lot and the relocated parking lot will be landscaped. 3.Agricultural Land.Has any portion of the site been in agricultural use within the last 15 years? 1 If yes,specify use and acreage. - Explanation and Source: No. The site has served as a National Historic Site since 1937, and has been in maritime use 1 since the mid 1700s. 1 D. Water Quality and Quantity 1.Might the project result in significant changes in drainage patterns? Explanation and Source: 1 No. Presently all site drainage is directed to Salem Harbor. For this project, the existing 44 space parking lot on Central Wharf will be relocated offsite, and approximately 250 square feet of Central Wharf will be paved for use as a visitor tour assembly area. These changes will 1 not significantly alter drainage patterns. 2.Might the project result in the introduction of any pollutants,including sediments,into marine waters,surface fresh waters or ground water? 1 Explanation and Source: Yes. During dredging there will be an increase of suspended solids. Results of the.elutriate analyses indicate that there is likely to be no release of contaminants to the water. The spread 1 of suspended solids will be limited to the dredge area through the use of silt curtains.. c 1 3.Does the project involve any dredging?No Yes Volume,16.500 X0.000 cy or more, attach completed Standard Application Form for Water Qualin Certification, Part 1(314 CMR 9.02(3),9.90,DEQE Division of Water Pollution Control). Dredging of the slip between Derby and Central Wharves is necessary to accommodate the ' floating exhibits and visiting sailing vessels. The dredging involves removal of 16,500 cy of marine sediment, of which 10,000 cy are clean and have been determined to be suitable for disposal at the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site (See Attachment B). The remaining 6,500 cy of 1 contaminated surface sediments, which are not suitable for ocean disposal, will be disposed of in a MA DEP-approved landfill (See Attachment C). Upon completion, the slip will have a depth of approximately 13 feet below MLW. 1 A copy of the Standard Application Form for Water Quality Certification is included as Attachment A. 1/9/87 301 CMR - 105 1 301 CMR: EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS ' 11.28: continued ' P.6 , 4.

The restroom would be for general Site usage, while the shower facility would be dedicated for use by crew Of visiting sailing vessels. ' It is anticipated that flows from this facility would average approximately 5,700 gallons per day. Wastewater from this facility will be directed to the municipal sewerage system. 6. Might the project result in an increase in paved or impervious surface over a sole source , aquifer or an aquifer recognized as an important present or future source of water supply? Explanation and Source: There will be a net reduction of paved area at the site as a result of relocation of the parking ' lot from its present location on Central Wharf. The site is not located over important aquifers. 7.Is the project in the watershed of any surface water body used as a drinking water supply? Explanation and Source: No. The site is within the Salem Harbor watershed, which is not used as a drinking water ' source. 8.Are there any public or private drinking water wells within al/2-mile radius of the proposed project? Explanation and Source: ' No. The sources of water for the Salem/Beverly Water District is located outside the City of Salem, at Wenham Lake in Wenhami MA. There are a number of private wells in Salem, but none are known to eldst within one-half mile of the site.

Approximate consumption 5.700 gallons per day.Likely water source(s) Municipal Water Supl) Explanation and Source: Yes. Proposed restroom and shower facilities are anticipated to require approximately 5,700 gallons per day. E. Solid Waste and Hazardous Materials 1. Estimate types and approximate amounts of waste materials generated, e.g., industrial, domestic, hospital, sewage sludge,construction debris from demolished structures. How/ where will such waste be disposed of? Explanation and Source: Wharf reconstruction will require demolition of existing timber bulkheads and a 44 space parking lot. This will result in approximately 1,000 cubic yards of timber and asphalt waste that will be disposed of at an approved landfill. In addition, 2,000 cubic yards of excavated . material from behind the deteriorated bulkheads will be removed and disposed of at an approved landfill. 2. Might the project involve the generation,use,transportation, storage, release,or disposal of potentially hazardous materials? Explanation and Source No. Results of Extraction Procedure Toxicity tests for metals that were conducted on the materials to dredged, indicated the materials are not EP toxic. In addition, photo-ionization scanning of the materials to be excavated did not suggest the presence of volatile compounds. 3.Has the site previously been used for the use,generation,transportation,storage,release, or disposal of potentially hazardous materials? Explanation and Source: No. The site is not listed as_a disposal site, or as a location potentially containing hazardous materials.

' 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION ' 3.1 PROPOSED LANDSIDE AND MARINE ACTIVITIES As the result of the planning, public involvement, and engineering efforts, Alternative 2 ' (Figure 2) was selected as the preferred alternative. In general, this alternative involves the stabilization and reconstruction of portions of historic Derby, Central, and Hatch's wharves and the dredging of approximately 16,500 cubic yards (cy) of marine sediments from an area between the wharves of approximately 1.6 acres. Approximately 16,000 cy ' of fill material will be excavated from the wharves to facilitate reconstruction of the bulkheads. Of this volume, approximately 14,000 cy will be used as backfill with the remaining material to be disposed of at a MA DEP-approved landfill. Specific project ' descriptions follow and their locations are illustrated in Figure 3. 3.1.1 Derby Wharf ' Derby Wharf is an earth-filled structure contained by granite block bulkheads. Although the original wharf structure dates to the mid-1700s, records indicate the present structure was substantially rebuilt in 1938. Archaeological remains of original timber ' cribbing may still exist. During this restoration, the wharf's western edge was elevated by approximately three feet. Because Derby Wharf is the largest of the three wharves and contained the largest number of historic structures, it will be the focal point for the ' construction of visitor areas and interpretative locations. Specific work on Derby Wharf will include: 1. Filling of large voids between the granite blocks (where there is evidence of loss of fill) with sacks of Portland cement grout or chinking stones to reduce the loss of fill and subsidence of the wharf surface. Missing blocks will also be replaced and fitted with chinking stones where feasible. A design schematic is contained in Figure 4. ' 2. Replacement of a 215-foot section of deteriorated timber bulkhead along the east side. A design schematic is contained in Figure 5. 3. Replacement of two sections of timber platform totalling approximately 200 linear feet along the west side. ' 4. Dredging of a slip between Derby and Central wharves to a finished depth of 13 feet depth below mean low water. This will be accomplished through the dredging of approximately 16,500 cy of marine sediment, of which 10,000 cy which are clean ' and have been determined to be suitable for disposal at the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site. The remaining 6,500 cy consist of contaminated surface sediments which are not suitable for ocean disposal will be disposed of at a MA DEP-approved landfill. Details of the proposed dredging are contained in Figures 6 and 7. ' 5. A 250 foot section of the west side of the wharf will be underpinned by installation of a series of steel sheet pile cells (Figure 8). The cells will be installed to a depth ' of approximately -24 feet MLW (the approximate top of bedrock). At the top outer edge of the cells, concrete beams will be installed to form the footing for the replaced granite block bulkhead. Timber fender piles will be placed at 12 foot intervals along the face of the granite wall. Approximately 6,200 cy of existing fill ' will be removed from behind the bulkhead during the construction. The majority of the fill (approximately 5,600 cy) will be reused during backfilling. Fill not used for backfilling and creosote timbers from demolition will be disposed of at a MA ' DEP-approved landfill. 3 - 1 1 1 1 GRANITE BLOCKS ' EI.+12.0' MHW EL.+9.80' ' AT GRANITE BLOCK JOINTS THAT HAVE FILL ' SIGNS OF FILL MATERIAL ESCAPING, SEAL OPENINGS WITH PACKETS OF A PORTLAND CEMENT GROUT.

The two existing piers along the east side will be removed. 7. In addition to dredging and bulkhead stabilization, a variety of other improvements will be made to the site proper to enhance the Site's historic interpretive exhibits. The activities planned include construction of a maritime trade interpretative area, two 3,000 square foot warehouse exhibit buildings, a floating vessel and associated wharf exhibits, "ghosted" warehouses, site evolution and contemplative areas, and a shipbuilding exhibit area. 8. Open space. 3.1.2 Central Wharf ' Central Wharf is constructed of earth fill contained by steel sheet pile and timber bulkheads. Originally constructed circa 1790, the wharf has periodically undergone major ' repair, most recently in 1975 when steel sheet piling was installed along the western face of the wharf. Although the western face of Central Wharf is structurally sound, the eastern side is in poor condition and failing (some emergency repairs have been conducted). The eastern face and southern end will be replaced with new timber/steel t bulkheads. Central Wharf will be used for visitor access, day boat and tour boat docking, and wayside exhibits. Specific work along Central Wharf will include: ' 1. Excavation of approximately 9,600 cubic yards of fill from behind the bulkhead. Of this volume, approximately 1,370 cy not re-used for backfill and creosote timbers from demolition will be disposed of at a MA DEP approved disposal site. 2. Construction of a new bulkhead which will consist of steel sheet piles, connected across the wharf by tie rods located approximately four feet below surface elevations. Alongthe east face of the pier, the steel sheet piles will be faced with ' a timber facia and timber piles Timber piles and facia will be treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA). Schematic and section views of the new bulkhead are shown in Figures 9 through 13. The existing steel sheet pile bulkhead ' along the west face of the pier will remain. 3. Placement of approximately 1,300 Cy of crushed stone behind the bulkhead. 4. Dredging of the slip as described above for Derby Wharf. 5. Reconstruction of the existing marine railway. ' 6. The existing 44-space parking lot on Central Wharf at the Contact Station will be removed. Parking will be provided at the East India Garage/Salem Project visitor ' center in downtown Salem, less than one-quarter mile from the site. A continuous shuttle bus will provide transportation from the Salem Project visitor center to the Maritime Park. Additional replacement parking will be provided by the National Park Service at a proposed new maintenance/parking facility nearby. Two parking ' spaces for visitors with disabilities will be provided near the Contact Station. 7. A tour boat drop-off area and day use docking will be provided along the west side ' of Central Wharf. 8. Interpretative exhibits of the Forrester Warehouse will be constructed on the foundation of the original structure. 1 3 - 8 B TIMBER BULKHEAD TMBEN BULNNEAD PART PLAN 77 A MARINE RAILWAY - PART PLAN DDNCNEIE DEADPAN PZZZ SHEET P4 BULKHEAD DDNDBEIE M1M DEADPAN IMSM F111 in P ,xRl TMBE PUVE A IN li J E1I1511ND SHEET NlE 8U11(HEAD A' B' AF--A CROSS SECTION LOCATIONS (see figure to) CENTRAL WHARF PROPOSED WORK SALEM MARITIME SCALE FIGURE CORTELL NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE Assoc Aics NATIONAL PARK SERVICE 0 11' 22' 9 s SALEM (ESSEX COUNTY), MA �� v 1 1 59'3 1 1 1 EL. 13.2 / 3x8 PLANKING EL 13.3 .......... .. ......

' 9. Public rest rooms and shower facilities for transient historic sailing vessels will be constructed adjacent to the existing Contact Station. 3.1.3 Hatch's Wharf ' Hatch's Wharf consists of fill material contained by a granite block bulkhead. It was constructed in 1793 and has existed in the same basic configuration since 1853 when the stone facing was added. Proposed work at this location includes: ' 1. Grouting of voids between granite blocks, as described for Derby Wharf. 2. Hardening (surface type to be determined) of 500 square feet of the wharf surface ' for use as a tour assembly area. ' 3.1.4 Other Site Improvements In addition to the improvements planned for the wharves and open water portions of the ' park, a series of other park modifications are planned for the remainder of the nine acre site. While portions of activities planned under the Master Plan are proposed for areas of the site not subject to jurisdiction under the MA Wetlands Protection Act, these efforts are described for informational purposes. ' To the south of Derby Street, a shipbuilding exhibit will be constructed. The reconstruction of the permanently-moored historic ship would be built on site. ' To the north of Derby Street, on the parcel of land occupied by The Custom, Hawkes, Derby, and Narbonne Houses and accessory structures, improvements are planned to include refurbishment of the Houses, landscaping and new interpretive exhibits. A new 4,000 square foot maintenance building is also proposed for an abandoned nearby property on Blaney Street. ' Additionally, several traffic circulation improvements are proposed for the project area to eliminate existing circulation and safety concerns. These include: 1. Derby Street mill become a no-parking zone within most of the Park boundaries during the hours of 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. Replacement parking for this area will be provided at the maintenance facility. ' 2. Derby Street will become one-way going east to Herbert Street and Orange Street traffic will be reversed. ' 3. Derby Street will be resurfaced with historically authenic material and three pedestrian crossings suitable for all users will be provided. ' 3.2 SITE DESCRIPTION The Salem Maritime National Historic Site is approximately nine acres on and adjacent to ' Salem Harbor, and abuts Pickering Wharf and the central business district of Salem. The Site consists of three historic wharves: (1) Derby, (2) Hatch's, and (3) Central Wharves, as well as a number of historic maritime structures. Derby, Hatch"s, and parts of Central Wharves are grassed and Central Wharf contains a 44 space parking lot, a Contact ' 3 - 14 JASON M.CORTELL AND ASSOCIATES INC. Station, and the foundation of the historic Forrester warehouse. There is a small beach , to the east of Derby Wharf and most of the perimeter of Derby Wharf is intertidal. There are no salt marshes on site and the site is not near any Area of Critical Environmental ' Concern. The site is within the South Essex Ocean Sanctuary. During site planning activities that took place during the summer of 1990, investigations ' into the quality of landside soils on the wharves, marine sediments, and biological conditions in the inter- and subtidal zones were conducted on behalf of the A/E team by JASON M. CORTELL and ASSOCIATES INC. The findings, which are summarized below, ' were documented in a report to the National Park Service, titled Volume 2, Environmental Site Investigation, dated September, 1990. Except as otherwise indicated in the text, the following discussions are based on the CORTELL field investigations. 3.2.1 Marine Sediments , In order to characterize the sediment quality in the proposed dredge area, CORTELL , collected two core and three surface grab samples. Their locations are indicated on Figure 14. Bulk sediment chemical analyses, elutriate analyses,. and Extraction Procedure Toxicity analyses were conducted with the following findings. 3.2.1.1 Bulk Sediment Quality ' The bulk sediment quality determinations included physical and chemical analyses and the , comparison of the findings with the Massachusetts Criteria For The Classification of Dredged or Fill Materials (see Table Q. Two levels of physical analysis were conducted on the samples. The first level involved the logging and visual description of the samples according to the Burmister soil classification system and the American Geological ' Institute (AGI) grain size criteria. The core logs for BW-1 and BW-2 are contained in Figures 15 and 16. As the logs ' indicate, the majority of the sediments consists of silt and fine sand, with lesser quantities of medium to coarse sand, clay, and fill (refuse) materials. The second level of physical analysis consisted of a standard sieve analysis to determine ' the grain size distribution. The grain size analyses is summarized in Figures 17 through 19. Sediment quality in surface and deeper materials was found to vary considerably (see ' Table II). At Station BW-1, which is approximately 270 feet downstream of a combined sewer outfall, surface sediments were found to be highly contaminated. This condition is ' due to high levels of lead and mercury, and moderate levels of arsenic and zinc. However, deeper sediments (1.9 to 10.0 ft.) at this same location were found to be uncontaminated. No pesticides or PCBs were found. In the surface sample, the total PAH concentration was 32 ug/g. The deeper sediments at BW-1 were found to contain a , total PAH concentration of 0.6 ug/g. 3 - 15 ' T1,17 /g J.

Instead, a surface sample from S-6 is being used to provide surface quality data. The chemical analyses for S-6 indicate that the sediment is contaminated with ' chromium and lead, and moderately contaminated with mercury. Total PAH concentrations in S-6 were 22.6 ug/g. No pesticides or PCBs were detected in S-6. The deeper sediments at BW-2, from 1.6 feet to 7.5 feet, were uncontaminated. There were ' no PCBs or pesticides present in the deeper sediments in BW-2. The apparent reason for finding high chromium at S-6 and not at BW-1, may be due to the flushing effect of high discharge rates from the nearby Combined Sewer Outfall (CSO), ' which may remove the harbor-derived contaminants from the area of BW-1. Chemical analysis of a composite sample from the location of BW-1 and S-6 also showed high levels of surface contamination. ' 3:2:1.2 Elutriate Analysis The elutriate test is designed to estimate the amount of contaminants that could be ' released during the dredging and/or dredged material disposal process. Elutriate analyses are conducted by mixing one part of sediment with four parts of water from the dredge (or disposal) site and analyzing the elutriate for contaminants that may have been , released. Results of the elutriate analyses are summarized in Table III. The data indicate that there was no release of metals to the water. 3.2.1.3 Extraction Procedure Toxicity Tests ' Given the high levels of chromium and lead in the sediments, Extraction Procedure Toxicity testing was conducted for selected metals. This testing is utilized to determine ' if the sediments should be considered as hazardous. The test results are surnmarized in Table IV. The data indicate that the extraction procedure did not result in leachate being produced which exceeds the maximum allowed concentrations as shown in Table IV. ' Therefore, the sediments are not classified as hazardous. 3.2.1.4 Biological Analyses ' A Tier III biological Analysis was also conducted on a surface composite sample from BW-1 and S-6. The results (Jason M. Cortell and Associates Inc., March 13, 1991. Tier III - Biological Evaluation Report. Salem Maritime National Historic Site Salem , Massachusetts) which have been provided to ACOE, indicated that the sediments are toxic and also result in bioaccumulation of cadmium, chromium, lead, and PAH compounds. The surface sediments have been determined not to be suitable for disposal , at the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site. 3.2.2 Landside Soils The landside soils will consist of fill materials that must be excavated from behind the ' failing bulkheads. Landside soils were sampled from test pits that were excavated at the locations indicated ' in Figure 20. The soil horizons were logged and scanned with a HNu model PI-101 photoionization detector to test for the potential presence of volatile compounds. The ' test pit logs and descriptions are contained in Figures 21 through 24. The data indicate that the soils consist of fill materials including clay, silt, fine to coarse sand, gravel, cobbles, cinders (and ashes), coal, brick, glass, ceramic, and wood. Chemical testing was conducted for organic and inorganic compounds and elements in the landside soils. The results are contained in Table V. 3 - 25 ' ' JASON M.CORTELL AND - ASSOCIATES INC.

BDL - Below Detection Limit JASON M.CORTELL AND ' ASSOCIATES INC. With respect to organic analyses, the data indicate there were no detectable , concentrations of pesticides or PCBs in the samples. in addition, scanning with the HNu photoionization detector did not suggest the presence of volatile organics in the soils. , Petroleum hydrocarbons were present at low concentrations. The inorganic analyses included chloride and metals, the concentrations of which ' influence where soils can be disposed. Leachable chloride concentrations averaged 1,045 ug/g with a range of 12 to 2,700 ug/g. Lead and mercury are the only metals that have a wide variation in concentration. All other metals are present at low levels. Lead was found to have an average concentration of 238 ug/g with a range of 16 to 570 ug/g. ' With the exception of soils from TP-4, the higher lead levels are found in the deeper soils. Mercury was found to be present at an average concentration of 0.57 ug/g with a range of <0.04 to 1.5 ug/g. Likely sources for these metals are lead based paints, ash, ' sediment from the harbor, and other materials that were used as fill during wharf construction. Mercury in the soil could have originated from mercuric chloride that was commonly used as a fungicide and wood preservative. 3.2.3 Biological Conditions Observations made during the field sampling indicate that such species of marine algae as sea lettuce CLUIva lactuca , rockweed (Fuc us sp), and Irish moss (Chondrus cris us grow on the bottom, rocks and piles around the site. No marine vascular plants have been ' reported on the site and no salt marsh vegetation is present. Benthic macroinvertebrates were sampled and the data indicate that the community is dominated by pollution tolerant worms including Capitella ca_ in tats. The Shannon-Weiner ' diversity values are indicative of a shallow, polluted coastal estuary. Barnacles were found to be growing on piles, rocks, and granite blocks. Intertidal flats are present around Derby Wharf and Hatch's Wharf. The Massachusetts ' Division of Marine Fisheries (MDMF) reported that a 2.7 acre intertidal flat located at the northeast corner of Derby Wharf has contained 12 bushels of intermediate and 221 bushels of legal-sized clams (Jerome, Chesmore and Anderson; March 1967). ' Screening surveys conducted on the intertidal areas around Derby and Hatch's wharves during the summer of 1990 did not result in the finding of any soft-shell clams. Blue mussels were found to be located from approximately the mid-point of Derby Wharf to its ' southern end. The mussels are found to be growing on cobbles and pebble substrates, with limited growth on the granite seawalls and piles. These beds are outside of the proposed dredge area. Although no formal survey of lobsters has been made, lobstering takes place off the end ' of Derby Wharf and a lobster was picked up in the benthic sampling. Data from the MDMF indicates there are at least 30 species of fish inhabiting the ' Beverly-Salem Harbor area. 3 - 33 ' ' JASON M.CORTELL AND ASSOCIATES INC. 4.0 PROPOSED DREDGING AND DISPOSAL PLAN ' 4.1 DREDGING PLAN The proposed dredging involves the removal of 16,500 cubic yards (cy) of sediment. The ' 16,500 cy consists of 10,000 cy of Category I material which is suitable for disposal at the MBDS, and 6,500 cy of contaminated (Category III) material which is not suitable for disposal at the MBDS. The 6,500 cy actually consists of the upper three feet of sediment ' of which only two feet are Category III. The bulk of the dredging will begin after the cellular steel underpinning of Derby Wharf and reconstruction of the Central Wharf bulkhead (in the dredge area) have been completed. Dredging will then commence with the removal of the upper three feet of contaminated sediment followed by the removal of the deeper sediments to -13, mlw. The extent of this dredging, grading, and section views are contained in Figures 6 and 7. During bulkhead reconstruction, however, minor amounts of dredging may be necessary to facilitate construction of the new bulkhead. ' A bucket dredge will be used and the dredge area will be isolated from the remainder of the Harbor by the deployment of a silt curtain extending from the end of Central Wharf. to Derby Wharf. Water quality monitoring will take place during the dredging which is estimated to take between one and two months depending on the construction schedule ' and dewatering. 4.2 DREDGED MATERIAL DISPOSAL PLAN ' Because of the sediment quality, the use of two disposal sites is proposed. The Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site (MBDS) (Figure 25) is proposed for the disposal of 10,000 cubic yards (cy) of clean (Category I) sediments. As the result of biological ' testing, these sediments have been found to be suitable for disposal at the MBDS and the ACOE has confirmed the findings (see Attachment B). ' The remaining 6,500 cy of contaminated surface sediments have been determined to be unsuitable for disposal at the MBDS. Alternative that were studied for the disposal of these sediments included: ' Ocean disposal with capping On-site sub-aqueous disposal Landfill disposal ' The capping and on-site alternatives were rejected because of anticipated permitting difficulties. Although more costly than the on-site alternative, landfilling is the selected ' alternative for disposal of the contaminated surface sediments. Approval has been received from the MA DEP for disposal of these sediments at the GCR landfill in Peabody (see Attachment C). Although a dredging contractor has not been selected, it is likely that the surface sediments will be placed on a deck barge and moved to a location where transfer to trucks can take place.

Specifically, you asked whether the sediments below the first two feet of dredging, that are proposed to be dredged between Central and Derby Wharfs, meet the exclusionary criteria of Section 227. 13 (b) of the Oceah Dumping ' Act and if these sediments are considered suitable for open water disposal at the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site (MBDS) . ' The bulk chemistry test results for the proposed project have been reviewed by the Marine Analysis Section. Based on the available information, the sediments below two feet do meet the ' exclusionary criteria and are considered suitable for disposal at MBDS. Please see the enclosed plan (Figure 2-4) , which has been highlighted to show the area that meets the exclusionary criteria.

The project proposes to dispose of 7,600 cubic yards of dredged material and 12, 500 cubic yards of -upland excavate at the GCR Landfill in Peabody, 1 .Massachusetts. The Westford Street Landfill in Lowell, MA is also - being considered as a site for disposal _ The .dredged material consists of "contaminated surface 1 sediments" to be dredged from between Central and Derby Wharfs in Salem Harbor. An additional 10, 000 cubic yards of material which is proposed to be dredged from deeper sediments has been approved 1 by the Army Corps of Engineers for ocean disposal_ The upland materials will be generated from the reconstruction of Central 'Wharf- Laboratory harf-Laboratory analysis of the materials shows them to 'contain low levels of contamination by Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Lead, Mercury, Zinc and Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons . Based on this ' laboratory analysis,-, the Department has determined that all contaminants are below hazardous waste trigger concentrations_ 1 In completing the review of the chemical data the Department has determined that these soils are suitable for disposal at the GCR Landfill in Peabody, Massachusetts, provided facilities can be 1 provided to remove all free draining water from the soils prior to disposal. To the extent it may be done so without disrupting the operation of the landfill or creating a public nuisance, the .material may also be used as a daily cover for the landfill . 1 Original Printed on Recycled Paper Mr_ Carlton L_ Noyes Page 2 At the present time the Department can not consider the Westford Street Landfill in Lowell as a potential site for the disposal of this material .

The major planning goals are to revitalize the site , rehabilitate the deteriorating historic wharves , provide an ' adequate maintenance facility, and integrate the site with the city of Salem and related resources . The Site Plan/EA was released to the public on May 6 , 1991 with four alternatives and was on review until June 10 , 1991 . During this time , numerous public meetings ' and open house presentations were held in Salem to hear and collect comments from interested parties . Meetings and presentations were scheduled at various times to increase access and convenience to ' the public . A summary of public comment responses is attached in the administrative record document. Overall, overwhelming support for ' alternative two was documented after the analysis of public comments . The greatest number of comments and concerns received focused on the following main issues: * The design of the warehouses including physical appearance , ' how they will harmonize with the existing environment, and their affect on harbor views both from Derby Street and , neighboring Pickering Wharf . * The removal of parking and the quality and adequacy of replacement parking proposed . ' * Traffic and circulation issues Analysis of these issues has begun immediately in order to , accommodate comments and concerns in the final design. Computer visual simulations, for example , have been produced to show how the new warehouses and the reconstructed vessel may appear when ' complete . SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ACTION AND ALTERNATIVES The four alternatives considered in the Site Plan/EA were as ' follows: ALTERNATIVE ONE : No Action ' . ALTERNATIVE TWO: Three Dimensional Interpretive Form ALTERNATIVE THREE : Low Profile Interpretive Media ' ALTERNATIVE FOUR : Museum/Recreational Use SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE PROPOSED ACTION , Details of each of the recommendations are outlined in the Site ' Plan/EA.

' In summary, the analysis shows short term impacts to harbor water quality during dredging activities . No long term, cumulative , or ' unavoidable adverse impacts were documented. Dredging will require disposal of 17 , 600 cubic yards of sediment. Only the upper two feet of the sediment , or 7600 cubic yards , are contaminated by some heavy metals such as chromium and lead. Extensive biological and ' chemical test were conducted according to all EPA and U. S . Army Corps of Engineers requirements. The U . S . Fish and Wildlife Service commented during the public review process that ocean disposal of the contaminated material was not acceptable or recommended. After consultations with state and federal agencies and appropriate ' regulations , the best method for dredge disposal was determined to be land disposal of the contaminated material with ocean disposal of the clean , uncontaminated bottom sediments . This is the method which will be sought during the extensive state and federal permitting process. A nearby shellfish flat which is a designated wetland under state regulations will be left undisturbed . There will be no impacts to threatened or endangered species . The ' 100 year floodplain covers most of the wharves. All buildings and other interpretive media on the wharves will be floodproofed and designed to withstand the periodic tidal flooding on the wharves . The proposed maintenance facility site , if purchased, has some 100 year floodplain areas on the site . Analysis shows that a facility can be built on the site and designed to avoid impacts to the floodplain and prevent damage to the facility. These actions are ' detailed in the attached Statement of Findings. All landward wastes from wharf rehabilitation will be disposed of according to state regulations at approved land facilities . ' Appropriate sediment control and mitigation techniques will be used during dredge and construction activities to prevent water quality impacts . No adverse or long term impacts to fisheries or other ' marine organisms will occur. Buffers on the eastern edge of the site will be designed between the proposed shipbuilding exhibit and the adjacent residential homes to prevent impacts to the residents. ' The new warehouse exhibit structures and the reconstructed vessel will enhance the historic maritime atmosphere of the park and harbor area which is relatively barren and surrounded by residential and modern commercial activities . Considerations for ' open space and harbor views have been considered in all planning and design proposals including concerns for harmonizing with the historic wharves and north area structures in the park, as well as ' adjacent neighborhoods. Computer visual simulations taken from points at the Pickering Wharf complex and from within the park were completed by the National Park Service to address impact concerns over wharf designs. These simulations addressed aesthetic concerns ' and showed potential solutions for mitigating effects from the proposed action. The National Park Service has worked closely with the Massachusetts ' State Historic Preservation Office and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation under the Programmatic Agreement. In accord with that agreement, actions identified in Appendix C of the Site ' Plan/EA will undergo further review by the State Historic Preservation Officer and the Advisory Council on Historic 1 Preservation under the Advisory Council ' s Regulations for the ' Protection of Historic and Cultural Properties . Comments were received from the Massachusetts SHPO dated 7/ 31/91 ' indicating their preference for the proposed alternative and indicating no reservations . The Advisory Council responded by telephone on August 15 indicating their preference for the proposal without reservations and noting no need to respond in writing under ' the Programmatic Agreement. Archeological testing at several locations has been completed and further archeological testing and/or excavations are planned prior ' to plan implementation. Such testing will be undertaken in consultation with the State Historic Preservation Officer as noted in Appendix C of the Site Plan/EA. ' CONCLUSION After reviewing the public responses for the Site ' Plan/Environmental Assessment, the National Park Service adopts Alternative Two in the plan as the proposed action with minor modifications to address concerns over parking , traffic and , circulation, and warehouse design and placement. Implementing this proposal will capture the spirit of the maritime era by providing active and lively interpretive media and programs, integrate the park ' s resources with the City of Salem, rehabilitate and preserve ' critical resources such as the wharves, and greatly expand the visitor experience at the site and in the City of Salem. The proposed action as described in the April 1991 Draft Site Plan/Environmental Assessment does not constitute a major Federal ' action that will significantly affect the quality of the human environment as defined in section 102 ( 2 ) ( c ) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (Public Law 91-190, 83 Stat. 953 ) . It is further concluded that the environmental consequences of ' implementing the proposed action have been adequately assessed and disclosed to the public. Therefore , the NPS will not prepare an Environmental Impact Statement. , 1 1 1 1 1 ' STATEMENT OF FINDINGS PARK SITE PLAN/ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ' SALE14 MARITIME NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS 1 1 1 ' RECOMMENDED: ' SUPERINTENDENT ALEM MARITIME NATIONAL HISTORIC SI-TE DATE / ' CONCURRED: / C� h REGIONAL DIRECTOO, NORTH ATLANT `C REGION / DATE / APPROVED : 'DIRECT R, N IONAL PARK SERVICE DATE 1 1 1 1 1 TNTRODUCT1D31 - I The National Park.

The Site Plan/FH was released to the public on May 6_ 1991 with four alternatives and was on review until June 10, 1991 . During this time. numerous public meetings and open house presentations were held in Salem to hear and collect comments from interested parties. Meetings and presentations were scheduled at various times to increase access and convenience to the public. Executive Orders 11988 (-Floodplain Management") and 11990 ("Protection _ of Wetlands") require the National Park Service and other federal agencies to evaluate the likely impacts of actions in floedplains and wetlands. The objectives of the executive orders are to avoid to the maximum extent possible the long-term and short-term adverse impacts associated with occupancy'_ modifications or . .. destruction of- floodplains and wetlands. . . The orders also require agencies to%-modi:f,, actions to minimize harm to life and propert,,_ and avoid indirect support or development and new construction in 5-ch areas WhPreyer there is a practicable alternative.. The purpose of this Statement of Findings is to present the rationale for locating proposed actions in and documenting the anticipated effects on floodplain and wetland values. FLOOOPLf3THS PHO WETLRHOS UITHTH THE PROJECT FIRER As documented in the site Plan/EH, the wharves are located in the 100 year floodplain including outer sPctinns of Derby Wharf which are in a wave velocity zone. The renander of the site south of Derby Street _ including the grassy open space area_ is also within the 100 year floodplain zone but without wave velocity. H wetland classified as marine, intertidal flat by the U. S, Fish and Wildlife Service is lnr_.aied on the northeastern edge of Derby Wharf. The shallow harbnr is mapped as marine_ subtidal open water. No other wetlands exist on site The Blaney Street property proposed foe a new. maintenance facility 1$ 1S0o feet from the park has no wetland areas_ Portions of the site are in the ton year floodplain zone. The sifP includes Some abandoned buildings and is adjacent to the harbor. It is suren,inded by commercial and industrial development. THE PROPOSnL iH RELHTIOH TO UETLHHDS HH91 FLOODPLpINS After the public revi.etd prOceES an.aiySis was complcte. Hlternative Two in the Site Plan/EH was chosen ac the preferred alternative and proposed action. Thin alternative offers lively three dimensional 1 I ' interpretive form to the wharves and harbor incL1ding a reconstructed vessel, warehouse exhibit buildings on the wharves. a shipbuilding ' exhibit, and a visiting vessel pro;ran. In addition_ the Proposed action seeks an off-site maintenance facility to solve the site +5 inadequate space for the maintenance staff and equipment. ' The wharves_ which Protrude into Salem "arbor_ are within the inn year floodplain zone. The Proposed action will place warehouse exhibit buildings and appropriate sculptjjre to reflect the spirit of ' an active wharf involved in cargo transfer and other port activities, Because of the shallow harbor bottoms surrounding the wharves, some dredging will be rev!uired to accommodate the proposed reconstructed ' and visiting Program vessels. Current depths at low tide are extremely shallow at 2-3 feet and would not accommodate historic or any other vessel fpr interpretive activities. The proposed maintenance facility s -to will renuire a building up g gnnn square feet and a- 22 car Parking lot for staff and neighbP_rhood use if needed. The building would be floodgrogfed if it must be built ' within the inn year floodplain area. Rn extensive search of Potential maintenance sues within a close proximity of the park did ocate•.- any other suitable sites for.: a Permanent .maintenance fac-li V.

All ' local State and federal� r__ flpgdnlain nrpteetinn Standards will be flet, The proposed ship building Site would be in the Ion year floodPlain but would he designed to withstand potential flood imparts. There is no other practical location for this exhibit ' outside floodplain areas on site. Dredging will di-sturb un to 17 fon r,_hir yard5 of (?aterial. This was ' analyzed in the Site Plan/EA and through extensive tests conducted for the U. S. Rrmy Corns of Engineers based on EPA criteria, Although some short term impacts are outlined in the Site Plan/EA- there will be no adverse Short or long term impacts to the harbor wafers ' - ha. h_r _ . or wetland values from the proposed dredging between the wharves.

This plan will be updated to include the new visitor facilities proposed in this plan. In addition, the National Park ' Service will coordinate floodplain evacuation plans with the cit,, of Salem's .1989 Comprehensive Emersenc,, Management Plan (CEMP) which includes neasure_s for evacuating flood-prone areas in the cit,, to ' higher locations and shelters. The city has agreed to work with the- park- as they update the CEMP in 1991 -92. HITERNHTIVES COHSIDERED ' Three other alternatives were considered in the Site P1_an/Efl, The No ACtien alternative would retain the exi_sting _site development with ' little to no development.

Spanning a ' period of approximately 300 years, the nine acre site is at the center of Salem Harbor and was significant in early American History. In the present Site Master Plan, which was approved in 1978, modifications were proposed for the area that would revitalize the site, ' stabilize and restore the deteriorating wharves, integrate the site into the city of Salem, and provide adequate maintenance facilities. The Site's regional location is illustrated in Figure 1. During the summer of 1990, Derby, Central and Hatch's Wharves in the Salem Maritime National Historic Site were investigated to ascertain their existing conditions and to develop the means and methods for restoring their structural integrity. The feasibility of dredging the area between the wharves was also studied for both structural and environmental impacts. Consistent with the Site's Master Plan, these activities are now proposed in support of a program to enhance the Salem Maritime National Historic Site, including improved docking facilities to accommodate historic and other vessels and a ' permanently-moored floating exhibit. The bulkhead reconstruction is necessary to repair and preserve the historic wharf structures, and to permit safe public access to the wharf portions of the Park. ' Detailed planning and design necessary for implementing the Park's Site Master Plan took place concurrently, and was carried out by the A/E team in conjunction with the National Park Service's Denver Service Center. The planning and design process resulted ' in the development of four conceptual design alternatives: • Alternative 1 (The No-action Alternative) -- Other than the provision of new ' exhibits in the buildings on Derby Street, there is no development on the wharves. No dredging is proposed. The east side of Central Wharf, which is badly deteriorated, would be replaced with a new bulkhead designed to retain the wharf's historic appearance. The steel bulkhead on the west side of the wharf would be faced with wood. The granite block walls would be grouted and a section of timber bulkhead along Derby Wharf would be replaced. ' • Alternative 2(Three-Dimensional Interpretative Form) -- A dredged slip between Central and Derby Wharves would be developed to accommodate visiting historic sailing vessels as well as a permanently moored ship. This alternative includes ' construction of new warehouses (enclosed as well as framed "ghosted" buildings) on Derby Wharf, and the construction of active and passive interpretative areas, plus open space. ' • Alternative 3 (Low-profile Interpretative Facilities) -- Large wayside and demonstration areas with an audio tour and dialogues would be constructed. No dredging would occur, but necessary repairs would be made to the bulkheads. • Alternative 4 (Museum/Recreational Use) -- A smaller dredged slip between the wharves for visiting historic vessels, and a museum and warehouse exhibit buildings ' on Derby Wharf would be developed. Additional recreational uses are provided towards the southern end of Derby Wharf (western face) with a dock for visiting sailboats.

An Environmental Assessment (EA) prepared by the National Park Service's Denver Service Center for the project to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was submitted in April 1991. A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the project was issued on September 9, 1991. ' As a result of this review process, Alternative 2 has been selected as the preferred alternative, the Site Plan for which is shown in Figure 2. ' Improvements at the Salem National Maritime Historic Site will include dredging and the stabilization/rehabilitation of portions of existing bulkheads along Central, Derby, and Hatches Wharves. Dredging will be confined to an area of approximately 1.6 acres in an ' existing slip between Central and Derby Wharves. A total of approximately 16,500 cy of marine sediment is to be dredged. Bulkhead repair activities entail several varied techniques, each appropriate to the nature of the existing bulkhead. In general, the ' reconstruction activities include underpinning of the granite bulkhead along the proposed dredge area, the grouting of large voids between blocks, replacement of unstable or missing granite blocks, driving of steel and timber piles, and facing of an existing sheet steel bulkhead. Additionally, portions of bulkheads which may be structurally sound will ' be faced with materials more consistent with historic wharf appearances. Dredged materials will be disposed of in two locations. A Tier R - Chemical Evaluation ' Report (Jason M. Cortell and Associates Inc., September 1990) and a Tier III - Biological Evaluation Report (Jason M. Cortell and Associates Inc., February 1991) were submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and reviewed. Results of data review indicated that the deeper sediments (approximately 10,000 cy) are clean and suitable for ' ocean disposal. Based on those data, the clean, deeper sediments will be disposed of at the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site (MBDS). Based on the results of Tier III testing, the 7,600 cy of surface sediments are not suitable for disposal at the MBDS. Accordingly, ' these contaminated sediments will disposed of at a DEP-approved landfill. More recent design development changes have resulted in a slight reduction of these initial volumes to a total of 16,500 cy. This volume will consist of 6,500 cy of ' contaminated surface sediments and 10,000 cy of clean deeper sediments which are suitable for disposal at the MBDS. ' As noted above, the proposed work at the Salem Maritime National Historic Site includes dredging, reconstruction and stabilization of failed bulkheads along portions of Central, Derby and Hatch's Wharves. These activities are proposed within and adjacent to resource areas protected under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (MGL ' c. 131 §40). Resource areas which will be affected by the proposed construction activities include: (1) Land Under the Ocean; (2) Coastal Beach; (3) Coastal Bank; and (4) Land Containing Shellfish. In addition, portions of the site revitalization are proposed ' within the Buffer Zone. Figure 3 presents the boundaries of these resource areas on the site. ' The Notice of Intent associated with these activities, contained in Section 2.0 describes the work proposed within each of the above resource areas, the anticipated impact on the resource, and mitigation measures proposed to minimize impacts.

The Site consists of three historic wharves: (1) Derby, (2) Hatch's, and (3) Central Wharves, as ' well as a number of historic maritime structures. Derby, Hatch's, and parts of Central Wharves are grassed and Central Wharf contains a 44 space parking lot, a Contact Station, and the foundation of the historic Forrester warehouse. There is a small beach ' to the east of Derby Wharf and most of the perimeter of Derby Wharf is intertidal. There are no salt marshes on site and it is not near any Area of Critical Environmental Concern. The site is within the South Essex Ocean Sanctuary. ' During site planning activities that took place during the summer of 1990, investigations into the quality of landside soils on the wharves, marine sediments, and biological conditions in the inter- and subtidal zones were conducted on behalf of the A/E team by JASON M. CORTELL and ASSOCIATES INC. The findings, which are summarized below, were documented in a report to the National Park Service, titled Volume 2, Environmental Site Investigation, dated September, 1990. Except as otherwise indicated in the text, the following discussions are.based on the CORTELL field investigations. 3.1 NATURAL FEATURES ' 3.1.1 Soils Soils at the Salem Maritime National Historic Site affected by the project consist of both ' marine sediments to be dredged and landside soils to be excavated as part of the bulkhead stabilization project. The following sections describe the physical and chemical characteristics of both the marine sediments and landside fill materials. ' 3.1.1.1 Marine Sediments In order to characterize the sediment quality in the proposed dredge area, CORTELL ' collected two core and three surface grab samples. Their locations are indicated on Figure 4. Bulk sediment chemical analyses, elutriate analyses, and Extraction Procedure Toxicity analyses were conducted with the following findings. ' Bulk Sediment Quality The bulk sediment quality determinations included physical and chemical analyses and the ' comparison of the findings with the Massachusetts Criteria For The Classification of Dredged or Fill Materials (see Table O. Two levels of physical analysis were conducted on the samples. The first level involved the logging and visual description of the samples according to the Burmister soil classification system and the American Geological Institute (AGO grain size criteria. The core logs for BW-1 and BW-2 are contained in Figures 5 and 6. As the logs indicate, ' the majority of the sediments consists of silt and fine sand, with lesser quantities of medium to coarse sand, clay, and fill (refuse) materials. t The second level of physical analysis consisted of a standard sieve analysis to determine the grain size distribution. The grain size analyses is summarized in Figures 7 through 9. t 3-1 F � . 1 ' : .... ..... .......... m � ... A i W — =v .....::..::..... ........::.:.....:..::::..,.;:.:..:...

' Sediment quality in surface and deeper materials was found to vary considerably (see Table B). At Station BW-1, which is approximately 270 feet downstream of a combined ' sewer outfall, surface sediments were found to be highly contaminated. This condition is due to high levels of lead and mercury, and moderate levels of arsenic and zinc. However, deeper sediments (1.9 to 10.0 ft.) at this same location were found to be uncontaminated. No pesticides or PCBs were found. In the surface sample, the total ' PAH concentration was 32 ug/g. The deeper sediments at BW-1 were found to contain a total PAH concentration of 0.6 ug/g. At BW-2, it was not possible to obtain a surface sample due to the presence of cobbles and boulders. Instead, a surface sample from S-6 is being used to provide surface quality data. The chemical analyses for S-6 indicate that the sediment is contaminated with chromium and lead, and moderately contaminated with mercury. Total PAH concentrations in S-6 were 22.6 ug/g. No pesticides or PCBs were detected in S-6. The deeper sediments at BW-2, from 1.6 feet to 7.5 feet, were uncontaminated. There were no PCBs or pesticides present in the deeper sediments in BW-2. 3-3 ES 244 SECOND AVENUE TEST BORING LOG , TWA THAM MASSATEL617 M-3737502154 BORING NO.

' BDL = Below detection limit. ' 3-10 ' ' JASON M.CORTELL AND ASSOCIATES INC. The apparent reason for finding high chromium at S-6 and not at BW-1, may be due to the ' flushing effect of high discharge rates from the nearby CSO, which may remove the harbor-derived contaminants from the area of BW-1. Chemical analysis of a composite sample from the location of BW-1 and S-6 also showed high levels of surface contamination. ' Elutriate Analysis ' The elutriate test is designed to estimate the amount of contaminants that could be released during the dredging and/or dredged material disposal process. Elutriate analyses are conducted by mixing one part of sediment with four parts of water from the dredge t (or disposal) site and analyzing the elutriate for contaminants that may have been released. Results of the elutriate analyses are summarized in Table Ill. The data indicate that there was no release of metals to the water. ' Extraction Procedure Toxicity Tests Given the high levels of chromium and lead in the sediments, Extraction Procedure ' Toxicity testing was conducted for selected metals. This testing is utilized to determine if the sediments should be considered as hazardous. The test results are summarized in Table IV. The data indicate that the extraction procedure did not result in leachate being produced which exceeds the maximum allowed concentrations as shown in Table IV. ' Therefore, the sediments are not classified as hazardous. Biological Analyses ' A Tier B biological Analysis was also conducted on a composite sample from BW-1 and S-6. The results (Jason M. Cortell and Associates Inc., March 13, 1991. Tier III - Bioloeical Evaluation Report Salem Maritime National Historic Site Salem Massachusetts) which have been.provided to ACOE, indicated that the sediments are toxic and also result in bioaccumulation of cadmium, chromium, lead, and PAH compounds. The surface sediments have been determined not to be suitable for disposal ' at the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site. 3.1.1.2 Landside Soils ' The landside soils will consist of fill materials that must be excavated from behind the failing bulkheads. ' Landside soils were sampled from test pits that were excavated at the locations indicated in Figure 10. The soil horizons were logged and scanned with a HNu model PI-101 photoionization detector to test for the potential presence of volatile compounds. The ' test pit logs and descriptions are contained in Figures 11 through 14. The data indicate that the soils consist of fill materials including clay, silt, fine to coarse sand, gravel, cobbles, cinders (and ashes), coal, brick, glass, ceramic, and wood. ' Chemical testing was conducted for organic and inorganic compounds and elements in the landside soils. The results are contained in Table V. 1 With respect to organic analyses, the data indicate there were no detectable concentrations of pesticides or PCBs in the samples.

BDL - Below Detection Limit ' JASON M.CORTELL AND ASSOCIATES INC. The inorganic analyses included chloride and metals, the concentrations of which ' influence where soils can be disposed. Leachable chloride concentrations averaged 1,045 ug/g with a range of 12 to 2,700 ug/g. Lead and mercury are the only metals that have a wide variation in concentration. All other metals are present at low levels. Lead was found to have an average concentration of 238 ug/g with a range of 16 to 570 ug/g. ' With the exception of soils from TP-4, the higher lead levels are found in the deeper soils. Mercury was found to be present at an average concentration of 0.57 ug/g with a range of <0.04 to 1.5 ug/g. Likely sources for these metals are lead based paints, ash, sediment from the harbor, and other materials that were used as fill during wharf construction. Mercury in the soil could have originated from mercuric chloride that was commonly used as a fungicide and wood preservative. ' 3.1.2 Vegetation Portions of the site addressed under this application consist of open waters and wharves. ' Vegetation on the wharves predominantly consists of lawn. Additionally, there are areas of landscaped vegetation within the general park area. There is no wetland vegetation at the Site. ' Observations made during the field sampling indicate that such species of marine algae as sea lettuce Ulva lactuca), rockweed Fucus sp), and Irish moss Chondrus crises) grow on the bottom, rocks and piles around the site. No marine vascular plants have been ' reported on the site. 3.1.3 Topography ' The wharves and adjacent upland area are essentially level. A small beach area at the northeast corner of the site slopes gently towards the Harbor. Figure 15 presents a bathymetry map for areas adjacent to and between the wharves. In general, water depths ' between Derby and Central Wharves range from +2.0' to -10.0', referenced to Mean Low Water (MLW). ' 3.1.4 Surface and Groundwater Features 3.1.4.1 Surface Water Features ' Portions of the project area (1.6 acres) are within Salem Harbor. Water quality testing indicated that with the exception of total suspended solids and copper, under dry weather conditions, the Harbor waters meet the Class SB water quality standard which applies to ' Salem Harbor. Class SB waters are to be suitable for primary and secondary contact recreation, as habitat for fish and other aquatic life and wildlife, and for shellfishing in designated areas. During wet weather conditions, however, fecal coliform bacteria ' concentrations in the Harbor exceed Class SB standards. The testing also confirmed, by the presence of a sewer which discharges between Hatch's and Derby Wharves is a Combined Sewer Outfall (CSO). The water quality from the CSO have been reported to the Salem Board of Health and investigations are underway to determine the source(s). There are no public or private surface water supplies on or within 100 feet of the site. t3.1.4.2 Groundwater Features Based on inspections of test pits excavated onsite, groundwater elevations appear to be established by tidal influence. Groundwater elevations within the project area were found to be consistent with tide elevations. There are no public or private groundwater supplies on or within 100 feet of the site. 3-19 ..:::::. . ....:...... o � m AN i _ ............. i 1 N 6Y . ... .. E�6! 31 n� H� i Ah PW A POP.

' 3.1.5 Biological Conditions ' Observations made during the field sampling indicate that such species of marine algae as sea lettuce Ulva lactuca), rockweed (Fucus sp.), and Irish moss (Chondrus cris i s grow on the bottom, rocks and piles around the site. No marine vascular plants have been ' reported on the site and no salt marsh vegetation is present. Benthic macroinvertebrates were sampled and the data indicate that the community is ' dominated by pollution tolerant worms including Capitella capitata. The Shannon-Weiner diversity values are indicative of a shallow, polluted coastal estuary. Barnacles were found to be growing on piles, rocks, and granite blocks. Intertidal flats are present around Derby Wharf and Hatch's Wharf. The Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (MDMF) reported that a 2.7 acre intertidal flat located at the northeast corner of Derby Wharf (Figure 3) has contained 12 bushels of intermediate and 221 bushels of legal-sized clams (Jerome, Chesmore and Anderson; March 1967). Screening surveys conducted on the intertidal areas around Derby and Hatch's wharves during the summer of 1990 did not result in the finding of any soft-shell clams. Blue mussels were found to be located from approximately the mid-point of Derby Wharf to its ' southern end. The mussels are found to be growing on cobbles and pebble substrates, with limited growth on the granite seawalls and piles. These beds are outside of the proposed dredge area. ' Although no formal survey of lobsters has been made, lobstering takes place off the end of Derby Wharf and a lobster was picked up in the benthic sampling. ' Data from the MDMF indicates there are at least 30 species of fish inhabiting the Beverly-Salem Harbor area. ' 3.2 MAN-MADE FEATURES 3.2.1 Structures The project site consists of three parcels of land totalling approximately nine acres. Parcel A (approximately 1.5 acres), located along Derby Street consists of the Custom House, the Hawkes House, the Derby House, the Narbonne Hale House, the West India ' Goods Store, and public restroom facilities. Parcel B (approximately 0.07 acres) consists of a structure known as the Polish Club. Parcel C (approximately 7.5 acres) consists primarily of the three wharves which were constructed and expanded between 1764 and 1896. Structures associated with the wharves include a 44 space parking lot and information center on Central Wharf and several piers and floats along the perimeter of the wharves. There is also a lighthouse at the seaward end of Derby Wharf. ' The wharves consist of various fill materials (see Section 3.1.1.2) contained by a combination of granite block, timber and sheet steel bulkheads. The stability of the bulkheads varies throughout the wharves, with many sections requiring reconstruction/replacement. The bulkhead stabilization is a major component of this application. 3.2.2 Drainage and Flood Control Facilities Stormwater runoff from the site is directed to Salem Harbor by overland flow and a Combined Sewer Outfall (CSO) located between Hatch's and Derby Wharves. Water ' quality analyses of effluent from the CSO during wet weather conditions indicate that the runoff is contaminated with fecal and coliform streptococcus which support the theory that the drain is indeed a combined sewer. ' 3-21 JASON M.CORTELL AND ' ASSOCIATES INC. The entire portion of the site seaward of Derby Street is located within the 100 year ' floodplain. The entire perimeter of the wharves is contained by various bulkhead structures which serve to protect the site from flood and storm damage. ' 3.2.3 Underground Utilities The site is connected to the City's existing sanitary sewage system. Accordingly, there ' are no subsurface sewage disposal systems on the site. 1 1 3-22 ' ' JASON M.CORTELL AND ASSOCIATES INC. 4.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION ' The following is a description of all project activities which directly relate to the applicability of the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act. In addition, a complete description of existing site conditions is also provided. ' 4.1 PROPOSED LANDSIDE AND MARINE ACTIVITIES ' As the result of the planning, public involvement, and engineering efforts, Alternative 2 (Figure 2) was selected as the preferred alternative. In general, this alternative involves the stabilization and reconstruction of portions of historic Derby, Central, and Hatch's ' wharves and the dredging of approximately 16,500 cubic yards (cy) of marine sediments from an area between the wharves of approximately 1.6 acres. Approximately 16,000 cy of fill material will be excavated from the wharves to facilitate reconstruction of the bulkheads. Of this volume, approximately 14,000 cy will be used as backfill with the ' remaining material to be disposed of at a DEP-approved landfill. Specific project descriptions follow and their locations are illustrated in Figure 16. ' 4.1.1 Derby Wharf Derby Wharf is an earth-filled structure contained by granite block bulkheads. Although the original wharf structure dates to the mid-1700s, records indicate the present structure was substantially rebuilt in 1938. Archaeological remains of original timber cribbing may still exist. During this restoration, the wharf's western edge was elevated by approximately three feet. Because Derby Wharf is the largest of the three wharves ' and contained the largest number of historic structures, it will be the focal point for the construction of visitor areas and interpretative locations. Specific work on Derby Wharf will include: ' 1. Filling of large voids between the granite blocks (where there is evidence of loss of fill) with sacks of Portland cement grout or chinking stones to reduce the loss of fill and subsidence of the wharf surface. Missing blocks will also be replaced and fitted ' with chinking stones where feasible. A design schematic is contained in Figure 17. 2. Replacement of a 215-foot section of deteriorated timber bulkhead along the east ' side. A design schematic is contained in Figure 18. 3. Replacement of two sections of timber platform totalling approximately 200 linear feet along the west side. ' 4. Dredging of a slip between Derby and Central wharves to a finished depth of 13 feet depth below mean low water. This will be accomplished through the dredging of ' approximately 16,500 cy of marine sediment, of which 10,000 cy which are clean and have been determined to be suitable for disposal at the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site. The remaining 6,500 cy consist of contaminated surface sediments which are not suitable for ocean disposal will be disposed of at a MA DEP-approved ' landfill. Details of the proposed dredging are contained in Figures 19 and 20.. 5. A 250 foot section of the west side of the wharf will be underpinned by installation ' of a series of steel sheet pile cells (Figure 21). The cells will be installed to a depth of approximately -24 feet MLW (the approximate top of bedrock). At the top outer edge of the cells, concrete beams will be installed to form the footing for the ' replaced granite block bulkhead. Timber fender piles will be placed at 12 foot intervals along the face of the granite wall. Approximately 6,200 cy of existing fill ' 4-1 X ::��z";iii::<3"7?

In addition to dredging and bulkhead stabilization, a variety of other improvements will be made to the site proper to enhance the Site's historic interpretive exhibits. The activities planned include construction of a maritime trade interpretative area, ' two 3,000 square foot warehouse exhibit buildings, a floating vessel and associated wharf exhibits, "ghosted" warehouses, site evolution and contemplative areas, and a shipbuilding exhibit area. ' 8. Open space. 4.1.2 Central Wharf , Central Wharf is constructed of earth fill contained by steel sheet pile and timber bulkheads. Originally constructed circa 1790, the wharf has periodically undergone major ' repair, most recently in 1975 when steel sheet piling was installed along the western face of the wharf. Although the western face of Central Wharf is structurally sound, the eastern side is in poor condition and failing (some emergency repairs have been ' conducted). The eastern face and southern end will be replaced with new timber/steel bulkheads. Central Wharf will be used for visitor access, day boat and tour boat docking, and wayside exhibits. Specific work along Central Wharf will include: 1. Excavation of approximately 10,500 cubic yards of fill from behind the bulkhead. ' Of this volume, approximately 1,600 cy not re-used for backfill and creosote timbers from demolition will be disposed of at a MA DEP approved disposal site. ' 2. Construction of a new bulkhead which will consist of steel sheet piles, connected across the wharf by tie rods located approximately four feet below surface ' elevations. Along the east face of the pier, the steel sheet piles will be faced with a timber facia and timber piles Timber piles and facia will be treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA). Schematic and section views of the new bulkhead are shown in Figures 22 through 26. The existing steel sheet pile bulkhead , along the west face of the pier will remain. 3. Placement of approximately 1,300 cy of crushed stone behind the bulkhead. ' 4. Dredging of the slip as described above for Derby Wharf. 5. Reconstruction of the existing marine railway. ' 6. The existing 44-space parking lot on Central Wharf at the Contact Station will be removed. Parking will be provided at the East India Garage/Salem Project visitor ' center in downtown Salem, less than one-quarter mile from the site. A continuous shuttle bus will provide transportation from the Salem Project visitor center to the Maritime Park. Additional replacement parking will be provided by the National Park Service at a proposed new maintenance/parking facility nearby. Two parking , spaces for visitors with disabilities will be provided near the Contact Station. 4-8 ' BTIMBER BULKHEAD G PART PLAN TNBflV BUIKHEAO /9 MARINE RAILWAY PART PLAN EIXItliEiE BEAOUAN PZ27 SHEET PILE BVLKNEAG CBHGtEIE MT1 TNBER EAIA BEABNAN I I P SHEE PIULKI EA 'MiH iINBE f CIA Im I ?

Interpretative exhibits of the Forrester Warehouse will be constructed on the ' foundation of the original structure. 9. Public rest rooms and shower facilities for transient historic sailing vessels will be ' constructed adjacent to the existing Contact Station. 4.1.3 Hatch's Wharf Hatch's Wharf consists of fill material contained by a granite block bulkhead. It was constructed in 1793 and has existed in the same basic configuration since 1853 when the , stone facing was added. Proposed work at this location includes: 1. Grouting of voids between granite blocks as described for Derby Wharf. ' 2. Hardening (surface type to be determined) of 500 square feet of the wharf surface for use as a tour assembly area. 4.1.4 Other Site Improvements In addition to the improvements planned for the wharves and open water portions of the ' park, a series of park modifications are planned for the remainder of the nine acre site. While portions of activities planned under the Master Plan are proposed for areas of the ' site not subject to jurisdiction under the MA Wetlands Protection Act, these efforts are described for informational purposes. To the south of Derby Street, a shipbuilding exhibit will be constructed. The ' reconstruction of the permanently-moored historic ship would be built on site. To the north of Derby Street, on the parcel of land occupied by The Custom, Hawkes, ' Derby, and Narbonne Houses and accessory structures, improvements are planned to include refurbishment of the Houses, landscaping and new interpretive exhibits. A new 4,000 square foot maintenance building is also proposed for an abandoned nearby property on Blaney Street. ' Additionally, several traffic circulation improvements are proposed for the project area to eliminate existing circulation and safety concerns. These include: ' 1. Derby Street will become a no-parking zone within most of the Park boundaries during the hours of 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. Replacement parking for this area will be provided at the maintenance facility. ' 2. Derby Street will become one-way going east to Herbert Street and Orange Street traffic will be reversed. ' 3. Derby Street will be resurfaced with historically authentic material and three pedestrian crossings suitable for all users will be provided. ' 4-14 , ' JASON M.CORTELL AND ASSOCIATES INC. 4.2 PROPOSED DREDGING AND DISPOSAL PLAN ' 4.2.1 Dredging Plan The proposed dredging involves the removal of 16,500 cubic yards (cy) of sediment. The ' 16,500 cy consists of 10,000 cy of Category I material which is suitable for disposal at the MBDS, and 6,500 cy of contaminated (Category III) material which is not suitable for disposal at the MBDS. The 6,500 cy actually consists of the upper three feet of sediment ' of which only two feet are Category III. The bulk of the dredging will begin after the cellular steel underpinning of Derby Wharf and reconstruction of the Central Wharf bulkhead (in the dredge area) have been ' completed. Dredging will then commence with the removal of the upper three feet of contaminated sediment followed by the removal of the deeper sediments to -13' mlw. The extent of this dredging, grading, and section views are contained in Figures 19 t and 20. During bulkhead reconstruction, however, minor amounts of dredging may be necessary to facilitate construction of the new bulkhead. ' A bucket dredge will be used and the dredge area will be isolated from the remainder of the Harbor by the deployment of a silt curtain extending from the end of Central Wharf to Derby Wharf. Water quality monitoring will take place during the dredging which is estimated to take between one and two months depending on the construction schedule ' and dewatering. 4.2.2 Dredged Material Disposal Plan Because of the sediment quality, the use of two disposal sites is proposed. The Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site (MBDS) (Figure 27) is proposed for the disposal of 10,000 cubic yards (cy) of clean (Category 1) sediments. As the result of biological ' testing, these sediments have been found to be suitable for disposal at the MBDS and the ACOE has confirmed the findings (see Attachment A). ' The remaining 6,500 cy of contaminated surface sediments have been determined to be unsuitable for disposal at the MBDS. Alternative that were studied for the disposal of these sediments included: ' Ocean disposal with capping On-site sub-aqueous disposal Landfill disposal ' The capping and on-site alternatives were rejected because of anticipated permitting difficulties. Although more costly than the on-site alternative, landfilling is the selected ' alternative for disposal of the contaminated surface sediments. Approval has been received from the MA DEP for disposal of these sediments at the GCR landfill in Peabody (see Attachment B). ' Although a dredging contractor has not been selected, it is likely that the surface sediments will be placed on a deck barge and moved to a location where transfer to trucks can take place.

' 5.0 MITIGATING MEASURES ' As noted in Section 2.0 and illustrated on Figure 3, resources areas on the project site include: (1) Land Under the Ocean; (2) Coastal Beaches; (3) Coastal Banks; and (4) Land Containing Shellfish. The following sections discuss the project's conformance with performance standards for each of these resources. 5.1 CONFORMANCE WITH PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR LAND UNDER ' THE OCEAN Land under the ocean is considered to be significant to (1) the protection of marine fisheries; (2) the protection of land containing shellfish; and (3) storm damage prevention, ' flood control, and the protection of wildlife habitat. The following sections address measures and designs to meet the above-referenced performance standards. ' 5.1.1 Protection of Marine Fisheries Both the dredging and bulkhead restoration activities (pile and sheet steel driving), and placement of rock rip-rap will result in minor, temporary increases in levels of turbidity. ' The results of elutriate analyses (Section 3.1.1.1) on marine sediments to be dredged indicate that there will be no release of contaminants in the water column. To ensure that the dredging activities will not impact finfish populations, dredging will not be conducted during the February 1 to June 15 period the critical time for flounder migration and spawning. ' Colonization of the bottom sediments (which will be similar to the present sediments in terms of texture and quality), will take place quickly. The species composition will be similar to those presently inhabiting the area and will include and be dominated by pollution tolerant worms. Tidal circulation will not be impacted although the deepening will result in a small and insignificant increase in the flushing rate. The deepened water column is expected to remain aerobic. Colonization of the rip-rap will also take place ' quickly and the community will most likely consist of a more diverse community than is presently inhabiting the area. In order to mitigate the impacts from turbidity generated during the dredging, silt ' curtains will be deployed across the end of the slip area. This will result in the isolation of the dredge site from the remainder of Salem Harbor. It is anticipated that dredging will be completed within one month and will take place during the day time. ' 5.1.2 Protection of Land Containing Shellfish ' Intertidal flats are present around Derby and Hatch's Wharf (Figure 3). Historical data from the MA Division of Fisheries, however, indicate a that 2.7 acre intertidal flat at the northeast corner of Derby Wharf to support legal-sized clams. During screening studies conducted by CORTELL for this project, no soft shell clams were found. Blue mussel ' beds were found from approximately the mid-point of Derby Wharf to its southern end, growing on cobble and pebble substrates and on the bulkheads. ' Dredging and bulkhead stabilization activities will disturb existing blue mussel beds. The addition of riprap along portions of the base of the bulkhead will provide additional habitat for blue mussel beds. It is anticipated that the disturbed beds will recolonize. ' 5-1 JASON M.CORTELL AND , ASSOCIATES INC. 5.1.3 Storm Damage Prevention and Flood Control , Reconstruction/replacement of the bulkheads will not affect the location or function of ' the wharves' storm damage prevention or flood control capacity. The bulkhead rehabilitation will, however, serve to improve and maintain the site's capacity for storm damage prevention and flood control. The dredging of approximately 16,500 Cy of marine ' sediment from the existing slip between Central and Derby Wharves is not anticipated to alter the area's storm damage prevention or flood control capacity. 5.1.4 Protection of Wildlife Habitat ' Project activities will meet the performance standard to minimize adverse effects on wildlife habitat, pursuant to 310 CMR 10.25(6). Specifically, only minimal alteration in ' water circulation, distribution of sediment grain size, changes in water quality, and no destruction of eelgrass and widgeon grass will occur. 5.2 CONFORMANCE WITH PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR COASTAL ' BEACHES Coastal beaches are presumed to be significant to: (1) storm damage prevention; (2) flood ' control, and (3) the protection of wildlife habitat. In addition, they are likely to be significant to the protection of marine fisheries and land containing shellfish. At the Salem Maritime National Historic Site, coastal beaches are found along the northeastern ' shoreline of the property and in intertidal areas within the slip between Central and Derby Wharves. 5.2.1 Storm Damage Prevention , No modification of the coastal beach area located along the northeastern shoreline of the property is proposed as part of this project. Accordingly, this resource area will continue ' to provide the same degree of storm damage prevention as it does presently. The coastal beach areas identified in the slip between the Wharves are tidal flats. In this area, the wharf bulkhead provide the substantive storm damage prevention function. The proposed ' project is directed towards improvement of these bulkhead, thereby maintaining their critical function in storm damage prevention. 5.2.2 Flood Control ' The entire portion of the site seaward of Derby Street is situated Within the 100 year flood plain. The proposed dredging and bulkhead restoration activities will not affect the , site's flood control capacity. 5.2.3 Protection of Marine Fisheries and Land Containing Shellfish Coastal beach areas affected by construction include the tidal flats at the northeastern corner of Derby Wharf and in the slip between the Wharves where dredging and bulkhead stabilization activities will be conducted. During construction, there will be temporary ' increases in turbidity associated with the dredging. In addition, stone riprap will be placed at the base of portions of the bulkheads. Mitigation measures including installation of silt curtains to minimize transport of ' sediment, and monitoring of turbidity levels will ensure that impacts are minimal and limited to the dredge area. Planning of the dredging around the flounder spawning season and deployment of silt curtains will ensure that fish can continue to grow and reproduce ' during and following construction. 5-2 ' ' JASON M.CORTELL AND ASSOCIATES INC. 5.2.4 Protection of Wildlife Habitat ' Placement of riprap on portions of the tidal flat will not significantly alter the area's ability to provide wildlife habitat. The project has been designed to minimize adverse effects to wildlife caused by alterations in water circulation, distribution of sediment ' grain sizes, and water quality pursuant to 310 CMR 10.27(6). 5.3 CONFORMANCE WITH PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR COASTAL BANKS ' Coastal banks are presumed to be significant to (1) storm damage prevention; and (2) flood control. At the Salem Maritime National Historic Site, the wharf bulkheads serve ' as the only coastal banks. The bulkheads provide significant storm damage and flood control. The proposed activities are directed to stabilization and repair of failing bulkheads. Accordingly, implementation of the project will ensure the continued stability of the wharves. ' 5.4 CONFORMANCE WITH PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR LAND CONTAINING SHELLFISH ' Land containing shellfish is considered both as a resource area under jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and is also one of the interests of the Act. Several areas of land containing shellfish are present on the property. These include a shellfish flat of approximately 2.7 acres at the northeast corner of Derby Wharf, and areas of sporadic blue mussel beds along the bulkheads. Proposed activities potentially affecting these resources include dredging and the bulkhead rehabilitation. Dredging impacts are anticipated to include temporary increases in suspended solids in the immediate areas of construction. Mitigation measures presented in the discussion of Land Under the Ocean, will serve to minimize the transport ' of sediment from the project area. Bulkhead stabilization and rehabilitation will involve removal of deteriorated timbers, replacement of lost or failings granite block (and associated regrouting) and the driving of new piles and sheet steel. These construction ' activities are likely to disrupt of eliminate isolated areas of blue mussel beds. These species are anticipated to recolonize the area upon completion of construction. ' 5.5 CONFORMANCE WITH PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR WORK WITHIN THE BUFFER ZONE At the Salem Maritime National Historic Site, a buffer zone is associated with both the ' coastal bank and the coastal beach. Work within the buffer zone is primarily associated with rehabilitation of the failing bulkheads which serve as the coastal bank. While a majority of the repair/resoration will be accomplished from the waterside of the ' bulkheads, approximately 16,000 cy of miscellaneous fill material will be excavated from the landside portion of the wharves which are within the buffer zone. Of this volume, approximately 14,000 cy will be used as backfill. Additional clean granular fill will replace that portion of the excavate not used in backfilling. Excavate not used for ' backfill will be disposed of at a MDEP-approved landfill. Rehabilitation of the bulkheads will in and of itself serve to control runoff from areas of the wharves exposed during construction. Repair of the bulkheads will be conducted over a period of 9 to 12 months. During that period, all efforts will be made to temporarily or permanently cover exposed material to limit erosion or dust migration.

To this end, we have undertaken a review of facts and general rules ' pertaining to riparian boundaries/rights in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts . For our review we used the following learned treatises: ' Reference #1 - "WATER BOUNDARIES" ; George M. Cole, PLS; Landmark Enterprises; Rancho Cordova, Ca. 95670; 1983. ' Reference #2 - "BOUNDARY CONTROL AND LEGAL PRINCIPLES",, 3rd Edition; Curtis M. Brown, Walter G. Robillard, Donald A. Wilson; John Wiley & Sons; N.Y. ; 1986. ' Reference #3 - "A SELECTION OF MASSACHUSETTS LAWS PERTAINING TO SURVEYING AND REAL PROPERTY" ; Donald A. Wilson & The MALSCE "Law Book" Committee; Massachusetts ' Association of Land Surveyors and Civil Engineers, Inc. ; 1986. ' Based upon our review of these references and. our general Knowledge, information, and belief as it pertains to the practice of land surveying in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, we pro- vide the following facts and/or general rules pertaining to ' riparian boundaries and/or rights. 1. Massachusetts is one of only six (6) states which uses the ' Mean Low Water line (not to exceed 100 rods) as the sovereign / upland boundary in navigable waterways. The other states are Delaware, Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. ' 2. General Rules for Riparian Boundaries and Rights s _ . A. a property owner gains title to upland's (or alluvium) ' created by reliction and accretion. B. a property owner loses title to uplands (or alluvium) ' created by rises in the water levels or erosion. (the changes in A & B are long term, gradual changes. ) C. for sudden changes .of the shoreline such as may be caused by storms (avulsion) or manmade changes such as dredging or groins there is no change in title. SALEM MARITIME , NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE OWNERSHIP OF TIDAL FLATS - Page 2 - D. a riparian owner has the right on water adjoining his ' property to build wharfs and docks, although, that right may be subject to various requirements, restrictions, or regula- tions (eg. Ch91 Waterways, Corps of Engineers s404 & s10, ' Coastal Zone Management) E. on the assumption that a bed of water (tidal flats) is privately owned by a grantor of property adjoining a water- ' way, and further that there be no expressed intention that the bed is or is not to be conveyed to a grantee, THE GRAN- TOR IS PRESUMED TO HAVE PASSED TITLE TO THE LIMITS OF HIS , PRIVATE OWNERSHIP. ' (THREAD OF STREAM, MEAN LOW WATER OR 100 RODS) That is to say that unless a contrary intention is expressed or clearly inferred by the wording of the instru- ment or the terms of the conveyance, the grantee of land , bordering the waterway is presumed to acquire the title to thelimitsof the grantor's ownership. The force and effect of this presumption is overcome ' only if the term of the conveyance is definite in its exclu- sion or inclusion of the bed of water. ' In the case of a double description for riparian land in the same instrument, when ambiguous, the construction giving the greatest advantage to the grantee would prevail ' (ie .thread of stream,. mean low water or 100 rods) . 3 . Mass case law supporting the rule in 2E above is plentiful ' but most of the opinions cite a. 1647 ordinance which gives the . proprietor of uplands the adjoining flats. The owner may convey the upland without the flats, or vice versa, but in the absence of proof .of the alienation of one without the other, the presump- tion is that title to the flats follows that of the upland. 4. Riparian lines proportioning the flats between adjoining , owners may be determined by as many as eight or nine different _ methods. The one most frequently used in this area being "The Colonial Method". The riparian lines depicted on the 1936 Morse ' plan used for the taking by the City would appear to be reasona- ble, and will be used at the extremities of presumed limit of NPS ownership. Taking these presumptions into account, we make the follow- ' ing report concerning the ownership of tidal flats abutting the Salem Maritime National Historic Site. , ' SALEM MARITIME NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE OWNERSHIP OF TIDAL FLATS 1 - Page 3 - ' PARCEL #4 - CITY OF SALEM TO UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ESRD bk. 3134 pg: 179 grants all land and flats between the land and flats of the "Association for the Relief of Aged and Desti- tute Women" (ARADW) and the land and flats of the George Picker- ing Coal Co. being the same parcel taken by the City of Salem from Andrew J.

The flats as ' shown on the 1936 Morse plan extend to the channel of the river at the end of Central Wharf. If this was the extent of Mean Low water at that time, it would appear that some dredging has been accom- plished between the wharfs. Based on general rule 2c above, NPS would own most or all of the area between Central and Derby Wharf. , The Riparian line extending into the water between Central Wharf and Pickering Wharf as shown on the 1936 Morse plan appears to be consistent with a ' Colonial Method determination as drawn but not with the bearing noted on the plan. To this end, the graphic location of the line should be used for the , final riparian boundary for the plan. 1 t ' SALEM MARITIME NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE OWNERSHIP OF TIDAL FLATS ' - Page 5 - LOTS C D E - ASSOCIATION FOR THE RELIEF OF AGED AND DESTITUTE WOMEN IN SALEM TO CITY OF SALEM ' ESRD bk 3127 pg 521 grants three parcels of land on the southerly side of Derby Street between Derby and Central Wharfs to the City of Salem, described as follows: ' "LOT C" POB: BOUNDARY STONE AT NORTHEAST CORNER OF ELIAS H.

ON DERBY STREET; WESTERLY ON LAND NOW OR LATE OF JOSEPH W(iITE; ' No flats are mentioned as being conveyed, however, in .accordance with the ordinance of 1647 , the conveyance of the associated flats is presumed. For further substantiation of the intent to ' convey the flats, reference may be had to a petition to James A. Gillis, Executor of the will of Caroline R. Derby, praying that the flats southerly of Hatch's Wharf be conveyed to the Associa- tion for the Relief of Aged and Destitute . Women. No deed was ' found on record, however, a petition to probate (#37371) to sell the flats was made in January of 1907. SALEM MARITIME , NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE OWNERSHIP OF TIDAL FLATS - Page 6 - ' Title to the above premises Lots "C" & "D" is derived in a deed from Nathaniel O. Very, dated November 9, 1906, recorded at ESRD , bk 1849 , pg 456 . Prior owners of the property being Simon O. Dalrymple, Lemuel B. Hatch, and Issac P. Foster. Title to these wharfs prior to Foster is presumed to have been derived from the ' Estate of Caroline R. Derby, as heir to Execkiel Hersey Derby and Elias Haskett Derby. "LOT E" ' THE LAND AND FLATS IN SALEM BOUNDED: NORTHERLY BY DERBY STREET 66 FEET; ' EASTERLY BY THE PARCEL ABOVE DESCRIBED (Parcel D) ; SOUTHERLY BY THE SOUTH RIVER 66 FEET; ' WESTERLY BY LAND FORMERLY OF SIMON FORRESTER, NOW OR LATE OF GEORGE W.

As for the extent of the limits of the flats between Derby and ' Central Wharfs, reference may be had to Parcel #4 discussion of the historic location of Mean Low Water vs. any dredging which may have taken place in the past. In our professional opinion, ' the NPS would have a title claim to all area between said wharfs extending from Hatch's Wharf to Historic Mean Low Water. DERBY WHARF - CITY OF SALEM TO UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ' ESRD bk 3134 pg 180 conveys " . . a certain parcel of land, wharf, ' and flats known as Derby Wharf situated on the southerly side of Derby Street. The boundary description depicts the land and Derby Wharf as shown on the 1936 Morse plans #1 & 2 as being ' owned by Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway Co. The lines as it runs around Derby Wharf are described specifically as the face of the wharf, however, the catch all clause at the end of the ' deed. . " . The intent and meaning being to convey all right, title and interest of the grantor in and to the above described land, wharf, and flats commonly known as Derby Wharf, and all right, title and interest of the grantor in and to any land or flats ' that lie south of that portion of Derby Street, Salem that is situated between Orange Street and Daniels Street, would appear to eliminate any ambiguity created by the specific call for the ' face of the wharf as the limit of conveyance. ' SALEM MARITIME NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE OWNERSHIP OF TIDAL FLATS ' - Page 7 - In accordance with the 1647 ordinance, this conveyance would provide the title to any flats lying easterly of Derby wharf to the riparian line between it and the next easterly estate former- ly the estate of Elias Hasket Derby. The riparian line shown on ' the 1936 Morse plan #2 would be a valid representation of the flats subject only to the location of Historic Mean Low Water as it abutted the easterly side of Derby Wharf. Title for the above is derived from Eastern Ma. Railway Co. dated August 20, 1937, recd. ESRD bk 3118 pg 512 . Eastern Ma. Railway ' Co. being the successor corporation to Essex Street Railway Co. Derby Wharf , together with " all that parcel land and flats. . . " was received from the Derby Wharf Co. 06/02/1890 ; ESRD bk 1280 pg 208. The parcels of land to the east, described most often as flats, were derived from the heirs of Elias Hasket Derby to the Derby Wharf Co. to Charles A. Price to Essex Street Railway Co. ' PARCEL #3 - CITY OF SALEM TO UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ' In the deed from the City to the USA, dated 10/23/37, reed ESRD bk 3134 pg 178 Parcel #3 which included land belonging to several individual owners was conveyed. The key parcel of land as it ' relates to flats was that of the Polish American Veterans Associ- ation. The metes and bounds of the grant call for the southerly boundary ". . running S 810 52 ' 30" W, by land, or flats now, or ' formerly Kotarski, 72 .35 feet" as shown on the 1936 Morse Plan #1. The 'graphic symbol used for this course on said plan appears to be a bulkhead or wharf of some type. The intent of the City in this conveyance is suspect in that the description of this same line in the 5/27/1937 taking deed reed ESRD bk 3114 pg 233 was it. . . . to Salem Harbor; thence running southwesterly by Salem Harbor to land of the Eastern Ma. Railway Co. ; . . . .". Clearly it ' would seem that the City of Salem intended to acquire all land and flats, however, there was apparently some confusion over potential rights in the flats of, or formerly of Clara Kotarski. ' The intention of the City of Salem in their grant is further clouded by their subsequent conveyance of two triangular parcels along the beach area which grant to "mean high water" (11/20/37 bk 3134 pg 183) . t SALEM MARITIME ' NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE OWNERSHIP OF TIDAL FLATS - Page 8 The chain of title for the Polish Club parcel prior to the taking was as follows: ' 02/23/1934 - bk 2982 pg 202 Herbert A. Miller to Polish American Veterans Association ' 06/10/1933 - bk 2955 pg 55 Chester J. Burkinshaw to Herbert A. Miller 05/27/1933 bk 2955 pg 54 Clara Kotarski to Chester J. Burkin- shaw The description of the parcel in these instruments had metes and , bounds which would appear to run as far as the bulkhead or sea , wall as shown on the several plans of the area which are de- scribed as follows: SOUTHEASTERLY by Salem Harbor, seventy two and thirty five ' hundredths (72 . 35) feet; SOUTHWESTERLY by land now or formerly of, the Eastern ' Massachusetts Street Railway Company, fifty two (52) feet; SOUTHEASTERLY by land of said Railway Company, one hundred ' seventy eight (178) feet; NORTHWESTERLY by land formerly of Kotarski, a right of way and other land formerly of Kotarski, fifty six and five ' tenths ,(56.5) feet; NORTHEASTERLY by lands now or formerly of Secehowiz , ' Green, Kuhn, .and of Kinsman, two hundred twenty six and five tenths (226.5) feet. Following the premise of the 1647 ordinance, the call for the ' southeasterly boundary as Salem Harbor would presui.e to grant any flats south of the sea wall. SALEM MARITIME NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE OWNERSHIP OF TIDAL FLATS - Page 9 - iDescriptions used in deeds and mortgages prior to the grant by Clara Kotarski used a different description as follows: ' Beginning at Derby Street by land of Foster, Thence Running; EASTERLY by said Derby Street to a way: thence running; SOUTHERLY about one hundred and twenty (120) feet by said way: Thence;. ' EASTERLY by foot of said way and land of Michael H. Flynn to Grant Street: Thence; ' SOUTHERLY to low water mark of the harbor: thence running; WESTERLY by Derby Wharf estate and land of Foster to point ' begun at. This description is clearly erroneous in several of its calls ' however it seems to be very clear that it runs to low water mark of the harbor, at which point it probably was intended to read " . . thence running westerly by low water mark of the harbor to the Derby Wharf Estate, thence running northerly by Derby t Wharf. . . " . We would presume that the change in description by Kotarski would have been to correct the previous description errors, as well as to separate the 'subsequent grant to Burkinshaw ' from land she would keep which fronted on Derby Street. This change in description could be where the confusion on the part of the City engineer comes in his 1936 plan. In any event, it would seem clear that the City of Salem in fact did own the flats south of this parcel of land and the only remaining question is whether the grant of the two triangles bounded by Mean High Water would constitute an express exclusion of the flats under the ordinance ' of 1647 . It is our opinion that it probably would not be con- strued as an exception, and therefore that the National Park Service would be justified in claiming all flats': in front of the ' beach area of the legislated site. 1 SALEM MARITIME NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE OWNERSHIP OF TIDAL FLATS - Page 10 CONCLUSION Based upon our research of the deeds to the respective parcels t that make up the legislated boundary of the National Historic Site, we have found no evidence of any instruments of conveyance that in our professional opinion would exclude the National Park Service from claiming title to the flats that would lie between the riparian lines that extend from the extremities of the legis- lated boundaries. Based on the locally accepted rules for ripar- ian ownership / rights, the riparian boundary would extend to Mean Low Water as it existed prior to any dredging that has occurred since the 1937 conveyance to the USA. Based upon survey plans prepared by the City Engineer Frank Morse in 1936, it would , appear that the low water line may have extended out as far as or farther than the ends of the respective wharfs in front of the parcels. Based upon the current configuration of the submerged ' bottom, it would appear that dredging has been performed between the Central and Derby Wharfs as well as easterly of Derby Wharf.

The project proposes ' to dispose of 7,600 cubic yards of dredged material and 12, 500 cubic yards of .upland excavate at the. GCR Landfill in Peabody, Massachusetts_ The Westford Street Landfill in Lowell, MA is also ' being considered as a site for disposal _ The dredged material consists of "contaminated surface sediments" to be dredged from between Central and Derby 1 Wharfs ' n ' Salem Harbor. An additional 10,000 cubic yards of material which is proposed to be dredged from deeper sediments has been approved by the Army Corps of Engineers for ocean disposal_ The upland ' materials will be generated from the reconstruction of Central Wharf_ ' Laboratory analysis of the materials shows them to contain low levels of contamination by Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Lead, Mercury, Zinc and Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons_ Based on this laboratory analysis, the Department has determined that all ' contaminants are below hazardous waste trigger concentrations_ In completing the review of the chemical data the Department ' has determined that these soils are suitable for disposal at the GCR Landfill in Peabody, Massachusetts, provided facilities can be provided to remove all free draining water from the soils prior to ' disposal_ To the extent it may be done so without disrupting the operation of the landfill or creating a public nuisance, the material may also be used as a daily cover for the landfill _ ' Original Printed on Recycled Paper Mr_ Carlton L_ Noyes ' Page 2 At the present time the Department can not consider the , Westford Street Landfill in Lowell as a potential site for the disposal of this material .

The project involves several actions including repair/stabilization of the existing bulkheads along Derby, Hatches and Central Wharves, dredging of the existing slip between the wharves, and expansion the site's interpretive exhibits. Upon completion, the project will provide improved public access to the waterfront, expanded active and passive recreation; and enhanced public open space. The enclosed Environmental Notification Form (ENF) provides complete details of the existing site conditions and the proposed activities. Attached to the ENF is a copy of the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) under the National Environmental Policy Act for the project issued on September 9, 1991. The project does not meet the thresholds categorically including it for preparation of an Environmental Impact Report. As part of its overall environmental permitting requirements, the Park Service will be submitting a Notice of Intent to the Salem Conservation Commission; an application for a Chapter 91 Licence; Statement of Consistency with Massachusetts Coastal Zone Policies; application for Water Quality Certification; and an application for a Department of the Army Permit (Section 10, 404 and 103) with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Tierney, Secretary Executive Office of Environmental Affairs 100 Cambridge Street, 20th floor Boston, MA 02202 .� Attn: MEPA Unit Re: Salem Maritime National Historic Site, National Park Service Dear Ms. Tierney: The Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries reviewed the Environmental Notification Form for the Salem Maritime National Historic Site (EDEA #8903) and offers the following, comments. We do not object to findings in the Environmental Assessment of the Park Site Plans that no adverse or long term impacts to marine resources will occur. The primary source of potential impacts to marine organisms will be the dredging of 16, 500 cubic yards of marine sediments and associated rehabilitation of bulk- heads in the vicinity of existing historical wharfs. If precautions are made to contain suspended sediments and to schedule dredging around sensitive spawning periods, the impacts to marine organisms can be minimized. A coffer dam would provide better containment of suspended sediments than the proposed siltation curtains. Siltation curtains often fail due to improper maintenance during dredging operations. We recommended that no dredging be conducted from March 1st to May 30th, during the spawning periods of anadromous species, winter flounder and soft-shell clams. We are concerned with the status of the existing storm drain pipe that empties into Salem Harbor between Hatch' s Wharf and Derby Wharf. The analysis of marine sediments in front of the pipe indicates that the discharge has and probably continues to contribute to the contamination of surface sediments. Formerly a combine sewer overflow, the pipe now functions as a stormwater discharge. Common observations of dry weather flows and foul odors are evidence that illegal hook,-ups to the pipe also contribute ' j pollution to Salem Harbor. Ideally, this discharge should be eliminated and stormwater inputs routed to the sewage treatment plant. This issue was not discussed in the FVF or Environmental. Assessment. We recommend that the issue be discussed and resolved at this stage in the review process. i S • d 7e101 S.F. Tierney es not-2- 1-8-92 The bulk sediment chemistry data provided in the ENF do provide sufficient information to determine if these analyses were conducted in accordance with procedures for ocean disposal of dredge materials. Mercury determinations for two sediment samples did not attain the detection limit specified by the Army Corps of Engineers, and detection limits for all analyses were not provided. surface and subsurface sediment concentrations of PCBs cannot be assessed since they are listed as "below detection limit. " The ACOS detection limit for PCBs is to ng/g and surface sediments in Salem Harbor can contain 590 ng/g• The inability to detect PCBs in surface as well as subsurface sediments is not explained. This shouldissue determine the amount of d materialrequir ng upl nd dio sposalinstead of ocean disposalredga If you have any questions concerning these comments, please contact Brad Chase at 508-745-3107. i sincerely, _ Philip G.

Pollock: This letter responds to your request that the Salem Conservation Commission clarify Special Condition 6H of the Order of Conditions for the above referenced project . Specifically, Special Condition 6H states that: "The contractor is allowed to remove 100 cubic yards daily for the dredging associated with demolition and installation of bulkhead" , . . .which is referring to the critical spawning period associated with bulkhead repair . The Salem Conservation Commission interprets this Special Condition to allow the contractor to conduct limited dredging associated with bulkhead repair throughout the project . If you have any questions regarding this response, please do not hesitate to contact , Conservation Administrator, Juli Riemenschneider at 745-9595 ext . 311 . Sincerely, zat� L� Betnorne Chair EX\DH\NPSRSPLT f� 1 t CORTELLI SSOCI ATE R EIV January 9, 1992 JAN 15 1992 Jacld tine ins Of SALEM Rolm gKp�� Executive Office of Enviromnental Affairs , MEPA Unit 100 Cambridge Street, 20th Floor Boston, Massachusetts 02202 re: ENF Supplemental Material/Salem Maritime National Historic Site, Salem, MA Dear Ms. Wilkins: As agreed at our meeting at the Salem Maritime National Historic Site on January 8th, we are providing supplemental material for the Environmental Notification Form (ENF). This supplemental material is in response to several questions raised at the meeting. Project Phasing Phase I of the project scheduled to commence in 1992, for which funding is.presently available, will consist of the bulkhead repairs and dredging. The warehouse exhibits, "ghosted" structures (i.e. those which will be framed but not enclosed), bath and shower facilities and other Master Plan Improvements will be constructed during Phase II as designs are completed and funding becomes available. Building Dimensions As Figure 2-1 of the ENF illustrates, a series of five warehouse exhibit/ghosted structures are proposed for Derby Wharf. Each of these structures, to be constructed during Phase II, will have a footprint of 25 feet by 60 feet and a maximum height of 33 feet. In addition to these structures, a new bath/shower facility is proposed adjacent to the existing Contact Station. This new bath/shower facility will have a footprint of 26 by 50 feet and a height to roofline of 18 feet. Dredging As stated at the meeting and indicated in Section 4.1 of the ENF, in addition to the primary slip dredging, field conditions may dictate the need for minor amounts of dredging to facilitate construction of the new bulkhead. Since the specific locations and magnitude of this minor dredging will not be known until the bulkhead repairs are underway, it may be necessary to conduct this minor dredging during the March through May period indicated by the Division of Marine Fisheries as a restricted period. It is important to note, however, that all of this minor dredging will be conducted behind a silt curtain and can be limited to a maximum of 100 cubic yards per day during the critical spawning periods. JASON M.CORTELL AND Environmental Consultants 244 Second Avenue TEL 617/890-3737 - ASSOCIATES INC. and Planners Waltham, Massachusetts 02154 FAX 617/890-3430 JASON M.CORTELL AND ASSOCIATES INC. Ms. Jacki Wilkins Page 2 January 9, 1992 A revised dredging plan is included to highlight those areas anticipated to require this minor dredging. Our application for water quality certification will request a variance for this minor dredging and limiting the volume of dredging to 100 cubic yards per day. Also included are specifications for dredging: 1. A siltation curtain (American Marine or of similar manufacture) with ballast and anchors will be fully deployed between Derby Wharf and the end of Central Wharf. At a minimum, the siltation curtain will be deployed from Station 25+00 on the west side of Derby Wharf to Station 5+60 on the west side of Central Wharf. The curtain will be deployed prior to the start of construction and will remain deployed throughout the construction period. The specific purpose of the curtain is to protect harbor waters and boaters from floating debris resulting from demolition activities and to protect water quality from turbidity during construction and dredging. 2. There shall be sufficient slack in the curtain to allow its movement during the ebb and flow of the tide. 3. The curtain shall not extend more than two (2) feet above the bottom at low tide. 4. Opening of the curtain for the movement of vessels and construction equipment will be restricted to the period between low slack and high slack tides. The curtain cannot be opened (except for emergencies) on the ebb tide cycle. 5. The contractor will clear floating debris from the water surface before opening the curtain. 6. The contractor will be required to inspect the curtain weekly looking for weaknesses, tears, unusual flaring or other anomalies that could suggest potential failure. Repairs will be made within two days of noting such conditions. In the event of an actual failure of the curtain,the contractor will be required to have the curtain repaired immediately. The construction supervisor will also be directed to conducted regular inspections of the silt curtain to ensure its continued effectiveness. 7. Monthly reports on the curtain condition and effectiveness will be submitted to the National Park Service by the contractor. 8. During the period of March through May there shall be no dredging in quantities greater than 100 cubic yards daily. Outside of this period there is no daily limit. All dredging will be conducted from within the area enclosed by the siltation curtains. 9. During the main portion of dredging, Monthly water quality monitoring outside of the siltation curtain testing for metals, PAH compounds, PCBs, suspended solids, and turbidity will be conducted. If any of the regulatory criteria are exceeded, the water will be retested. If the second test data indicate violations of criteria, the dredging procedures will be modified.

As a result, the Commission has been copied on correspondence from Secretary Susan Tierney of the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs and Philip Coates of the Division of Marine Fisheries . Both letters express the need to resolve the problems caused by the combined sewer outflow at Derby Wharf. ��r The National Park Service has conducted dye tests and has !} determined that the sewerage is not coming from any of their buildings . Secretary Tierney has recommended that the National Park Service work with the City to eliminate this source of { contamination. Her letter also states that the ultimate responsibility for correcting the problem belongs to the City. The Commission would like you to advise us as to what if anything the City can do to resolve this issue. Please do this in writing uA or appear at our next meeting on February 13, 1992 at 7 :00 P.M. . We would like to have some idea as to what can be done prior to our, issuance of the Order of Conditions, so we respectfully ask you to ' respond at, or prior to our next meeting. Thank you.

S. National Park Service DATE NOTICED IN MONITOR : December 24 , 1991 Pursuant to the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (G. L. , c. 30 , s. 61-62H) and Section 11. 06 of the MEPA regulations (301 CMR 11 . 00) , I hereby determine that the above project does not require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report. As an effort to revitalize the Salem Maritime National Historic Site, the following work is proposed: 1 . Sections of Derby, Central and Hatch ' s Wharves will be stabilized and/or reconstructed; 2 . Approximately 16 , 500 cubic yards of marine sediment will be dredged from a 1 . 6 acre area between the wharves to facilitate docking of historic sailing vessels; 3 . About 16 , 000 cubic yards of landside fill material will be excavated for bulkhead reconstruction, the majority of which (14 , 000 cubic yards) will be used as backfill; and 4 . Site interpretive components will be revitalized and new exhibits will be constructed. The Environmental Notification Form (ENF) review has brought forth concerns relating to the potential visual impact of the proposed structures on Derby Wharf, and to potential water quality impact associated with the proposed dredging and with an RECOVED JAN 2 9{1992ga 100% RECYCLED PAPER EOEA #8903 ENF Certificate January 23 , 1992 existing storm drain discharge onsite. In response, the proponent has submitted supplemental information on these issues that (1) represents the potential impacts of the proposed structures on various perspectives of the waterfront, and (2) attempted to address the water quality concerns for the project. Additional information regarding proposed building dimensions was also provided. After reviewing the supplemental information, I have determined that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is not warranted at this time based on the following: 1. It appears from representative perspectives of the structures that they will not impede views of the waterfront, in part because of the proposal to have the outermost structures on Derby Wharf be framed, but otherwise open, structures, 2 . Although the Division of Marine Fisheries has suggested that a coffer dam should be used to contain suspended sediment during dredging, the proponent has suggested that a silt curtain with several contingencies required of the contractor will suffice to minimize impact on marine organisms. While I believe the ultimate determination regarding these mitigation options lies with the Department of Environmental Protection in permitting the project, I recommend that agency consider these options in light of the proponent ' s intention to request a variance for small amounts of dredging to be allowed to occur between March 1 and May 30 . 3 . The proponent should work with the City of Salem to explore how the existing storm drain that discharges into the Harbor between Derby and Hatch' s Wharves may be eliminated prior to obtaining the Water Quality Certification from the Division of Water Pollution Control. It would seem prudent for the Park Service to encourage and facilitate the elimination of this source of contamination which would otherwise detract from the proposed enhancement of the site, and it is on this basis that I recommend that the agency do what it can to address the issue, although I also recognize that ultimate responsibility for eliminating the discharge belongs to the City. 2 EOEA #8903 ENF Certificate January 23 , 1992 A Notice of Project Change will be required if either the dredge disposal plan is modified, or the building dimensions/locations are changed.

Certification Salem National Historic Site BRP WP 391 T 174 Derby Street dredge, wharf rehab " Salem, MA 01970 Salem Harbor Dear Ms. Pollack: We have reviewed your application for water quality certification for work at Salem Maritime National Historic Site on the Salem Harbor waterfront. The proposed work includes the repair and rehabilitation of bulkheads comprising Central Wharf, Derby Wharf and Hatch Wharf, and also dredging 16 , 500 cu.yds of sediment between Central and Derby wharf to a depth of -13 ft mean low water and placing 125 cu.vds of stone fill associated with reconstruction of a marine railwav at Central Wharf_ This work is expected to take 18 months . Salem Harbor is designated a Class SB water with Restricted Shellfishing in the MA surface Water Quality Standards. The sediment will be dredged by barge mounted crane and clamshell bucket and placed on a barge to dewater within the dredging area. The surface sediments contain over 800 silt/clay and are considered contaminated since they contain DWPC Category III concentrations of chromium, lead, mercury, as well as Category II levels of arsenic and zinc. An elutriate test was done on surface. (top 0 . 5 ft) sediments expected to be contaminated collected :rom 3 "deep" water sites between Central and Derbv wharves. It shows a release of lead and arsenic is possible during dredging, although the test allows more possibility for release of metals to the water column than does mechanical dredging. Whether water quality standards are maintained will be determined by monitoring during dredging. The surface sediment (in the top 0 . 5 feet) have been judged unsuitable for disposal in the ocean due to resultS of bioassav/ biCaCCL'MUI_a_10- tests .

Simpson: This letter is to comment on the Waterways License Application submitted by the Salem Maritime National Historic Site for the Wharf Rehabilitation Project and Reconstruction. The City of Salem Planning Board has received the proposed application and has the following concerns: 1 . Vehicles exiting the site with the dredged material should have the top of the vehicle securely covered as regulated; 2 . Vehicles exiting the site should be washed of materials before entering onto City streets; 3 . Construction site and any stockpiled material should be secured to keep public access away from area with fence; and 4 . City of Salem has a number of large construction projects underway; thus it would be imperative for the National Park Service to coordinate deliveries to and from construction site during peak traffic hours, to avoid major impacts on traffic flows . Overall, the Salem Planning Board is supportive of the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the Salem Maritime National Historic -'Site and with consideration of the aforementioned issue we wholeheartedly support this project . Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project . If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me or City Planner, William Luster at ( 508) 745-9595 ext. 311.

SALEM MARITIME NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE SALEM. MA has requested a Corps of Engineers ' permit under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and Section 103 of the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972, to repair and replace deteriorated timber bulkheading on Central Wharf, Derby Wharf, and granite bulkheads on Derby and Hatch's Wharfs, reconstruction of a marine railway, and resurfacing of its bulkhead. Approximately 16, 500 cy will be dredged between Derby and Central Wharves to a depth of 13 feet MLW. The upper 3 feet of the dredged material will be disposed of upland, and the remainder at the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site. A floating vessel will be permanently moored at Derby Wharf. These are part of the overall site revitalization at the Historic Site located in Salem Harbor, Salem, MA as shown on the attached 4 sheets. The Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site is frequently used for disposal of bottom sediments from various harbors in the Boston area. An average of approximately 300, 000 cubic yards of suitable sediments (suitability determined through case-by-case analyses) have been deposited at this site annually. The site has been monitored through the Corps' Disposal Area Monitoring System (DAMOS) program. DAMOS studies show that the site is a low energy environment such that sediment deposited at this location will remain within the site's boundary.. Levels of metal and organic in the sediments within the disposal site are generally above background levels, indicative of the industrial nature of the areas dredged that utilize the site. Areas outside the disposal site have not been found to be affected by sediment deposited within the site. The Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site has been designated by EPA for use on an interim basis for dredged sediments only; final designation and continued use for this purpose will be contingent on the results of an ongoing study. Our preliminary determination is that the material is suitable for the proposed disposal site. In order to properly evaluate the proposal, we are seeking public comment. Anyone wishing to comment is encouraged to do so. Comments should be submitted in writing by the above date. If you need additional information, please contact Ms. Crystal Gardner at the above address, or by telephone at 617-647-8770. Any person may request, in writing, within the comment period specified in this notice, that a public hearing be held to consider the application. Requests for a public hearing shall specifically state the reasons for holding a public hearing. The Corps holds public hearings for the purpose of obtaining public comments, when that is the best means for understanding a wide variety of concerns from a diverse segment of the public. Sincerely, Karen Kiil� Ad � SEE REVERSE SIDE FOR Chief, Permits Branch DETAILS OF EVALUATION Regulatory Division FACTORS .- . . . --.. -. ...-- - The decision whether to Issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impact of the proposed activity in the public Interest. That decision will reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. The benefit which may reasonably accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal will be considered,Including the cumulative effects thereof;among those are: conservation,economics, aesthetics,general environmental concerns,wetlands,cultural value,fish and wildlife values,flood hazards,flood plain value,land use,navigation,shoreline erosion and accretion, recreation,water supply and conservation,water quality,energy needs,safety,food production and,in general,the needs and welfare of the people. Where the activity Involves the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States or the transportation of dredged material for the purpose of disposing it in ocean waters,the evaluation of the Impact of the activity in the public Interest will also include application of the guidelines promulgated by the Administrator,U.S.Environmental Protection Agency,under authority of Section 404(b)of the Clean Water Act,and/or Section 103 of the Marine Protection Research and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 as amended. Based on his Initial review,the Division Engineer has determined that little likelihood exists for the proposed work to Impinge upon properties listed in or eligible for listing In the National Register of Historic Places and no further consideration of the requirements of the Preservation of Historical and Archaeological Data Act of 1974 Is necessary. This determination is based on one or more of.the following: a. The permit area has been extensively modified by previous work. b. The permit area has been recently created. c. The proposed activity is of limited nature and scope. d. Review of the latest published version of the National Register shows that no presence of registered properties or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein are in the permit area or general vicinity. Presently,unknown archeological,scientific,pre-historic or historical data may be lost or destroyed by work to be accomplished under the requested permit The Division Engineer has also consulted the latest published list of threatened or endangered species and has made a preliminary determination that the proposed activity will not affect those species listed or their critical habitat. The Initial determinations made herein will be reviewed In light of facts submitted in response to this notice.
